Original abstract
Conventional homogeneous-based catalyzed transesterification for the production of biodiesel can be replaced with a membrane reactor that has an immobilized heterogeneous catalyst. Combining reaction with separation while utilizing membranes with a certain pore size might boost conversion process. this investigation to study the effectiveness of membrane reactor in combination with heterogeneous green nano catalysis of MnO2. Techniques such as XRD, EDX, FTIR, SEM, and TGA were used to characterize the synthesized MnO2 nano catalyst. The highest conversion of around 94% Trachyspermum ammi oil was obtained by MnO2. The optimum process variables for maximum conversion were catalyst loading of 0.26 (wt.%), 8:1 M ratio, 90 degrees C reaction temperature, and time 120 min. The green nano catalyst of MnO2 was reusable up to five cycles with minimum loss in conversion rate of about 75% in the fifth cycle. Nuclear magnetic resonance validated the synthesis of methyl esters. It was concluded that membrane reactor a promising technique to efficiently transesterify triglycerides into methyl esters and enable process intensification uses MnO2 as a catalyst.
