Kinetic Processes Simulation for Production of the Biodiesel with Using as Enzyme

Abstract

The esters components were produced by transesterification of the plant oil or for animal fat with methanol in the presence of a catalyst such as (lapis) enzyme. The rate of transesterification in a batch reactor increased with temperature increasing the temperature. Higher temperatures did not reduce the time to reach maximal conversion for the ester production. The conversion process of the triglycerides (TG), diglycerides (DG) and monoglycerides (MG) was observed into concentration of  (Es) with time. The effect of Al concentration increasing is studied in this paper. The effect of Al concentration increasing that leads to appearance of behaviors on the results which agree with other researches and which matching with the predicted behaviors that are appeared on the results which agree with other researches and which matching with the predicted behaviors.
