BIODIESEL PRODUCTION FROM NON-FOOD RAW MATERIAL

Abstract

The aim of the research is to improve the properties of diesel fuel due to the use of biofuels as addi-tivestha. It is especially important while operating the farm equipment. Biodiesel was obtained by the reaction of transesterification in the presence of a homogeneous alka-line catalyst. Synthesis of biofuels was conducted by the innovative technology with the use of the apparatus with a rotating electromagnetic field students leading to the intensification and acceleration of the chemical reaction. Synthesized fuel was blended with petroleum diesel fuel and analysed according to physicochemi-cal parameters (density, kinematic viscosity, lubricity, etc.). Oil diesel fuel 5, 10, 20, 40, 100% and supple-ment based on microalga chlorella were used. The improved technology of cultivation of Chlorella vulgaris microalgae IGF No. C-111 consisting of four stages and a method for extracting lipids for subsequent use as raw material for the synthesis of biofu-els and bioadditives were developed. The physico-chemical prosperities of the obtained biodiesel are not inferior to diesel fuel and even surpass it in environmental and operational prosperities. Biofuels as a supplement must be used in order to improve the operational and environmental prop-erties of diesel fuels. The most promising raw material for biodiesel is a non-food renewable resource of highly productive oil plants - microalgae.
