Abstract

Jatropha curcas is very promising biodiesel feedstock. Oscillatory Flow Reactor (OFR) Oscillatory Flow Reactor (OFR) has a compact size and might be useful when reaction needs to be performed for a long time in a turbulence flow. A two step reaction was performed for biodiesel production from High Free Fatty Acid (FFA) oil; the first step aimed to reduce the FFA content by esterification process catalyzed by H2SO4 and the second step consisted on a transesterification process catalyzed by KOH. Initial FFA on Jatropha curcas oil was 16.45 %wt. The first step was performed in a Stirred Tank Reactor for 90 minute, 60 OC, using etanol 50% V/V and H2SO4 1.5% V/V and a 500 rpm stirring. After acid esterification, 94.5% of the FFA was converted. The second step was performed in an Oscillatory Flow Reactor for 60 minute at 60 OC, using ethanol 25% V/V, Sodium Metoxide 0.5 M (1% V/V) and a 91% final conversion was observed after this step. It was concluded that OFR is a good alternative for biodiesel production using High FFA Jatropha curcas oil as feedstock. Keywords—Jatropha curcas Oil, Oscillatory Flow Reactor, esterification, transesterification
