Produkcja biodiesla z oleju lnianki

Abstract

Aiming to reduce the negative impact of biodiesel fuel production on food sector, it is important to look for a new alternative raw materials (new sorts of oilseed as well as waste of animal origin) for the production of biodiesel fuel. One of the promising oilseeds is Camelina sativa. Process of transesterification of Camelina sativa oil was investigated, optimal conditions of fatty acid methyl esters production were determined. Conformance of physical and chemical parameters of the product with biodiesel fuel standard requirements was evaluated. Taking into account that usage of Camelina sativa methyl esters in pure form is limited due to the high iodine value, the possibilities to produce fuel mixtures containing fatty acid methyl ester made from Camelina sativa oil and waste animal fat were investigated. It was found that optimal composition of such mixtures is 32 % of Camelina sativa methyl esters and 68 % of animal fat methyl esters. The most effective antioxidants and depressants for mixtures of such composition were selected.
