Aproveitamento do Óleo das Amêndoas de Tucumã do Amazonas na Produção de Biodiesel

Abstract: A falta de disponibilidade de energia elétrica é um dos principais motivos pelo baixo Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano das comunidades isoladas localizadas na Amazônia. O biodiesel produzido a partir de óleos vegetais extraídos de espécies oleaginosas nativas de forma sustentada é uma das melhores alternativas energéticas para a região. O tucumã do amazonas, Astrocaryum aculeatum, é uma espécie de palmeira que produz um fruto muito apreciado na região, a partir do qual se obtém uma amêndoa com alto teor de óle… Show more

“…There are studies of physico-chemical parameters of oils of some species of the family Arecaceae that demonstrate the possibility of the use in the production of biodiesel. Some exemples are Buriti (Mauritia flexuosa), Palma (Elaeis guineensis), Tucumã (Astrocaryum aculeatum), Macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata) and Jerivá (Syagrus romanzoffiana) (Barbosa et al, 2009;Cesar et al, 2015;Esteban et al, 2012;Coimbra & Jorge, 2012) Due to the few existing works on this species, studies on the oil potential of the fruits of this palm are necessary. Because it is important to look for new species that produce good quality oil for the production of biotechnological products such as biodiesel, since currently the production of this fuel occurs using as input mainly the soybean oil that is also used in food (No, 2011).…”

“…De acordo com Barbosa et al (2009), o tucumanzeiro pode ter boa produtividade em solos de baixa fertilidade natural. Essa característica é fator importante no manejo dessa cultura, visto o elevado custo dos fertilizantes e corretivos na região (Lehmann et al 2001;Moreira e Gonçalves, 2006), dificulta a utilização destes produtos, principalmente, por pequenos produtores.…”

“…For some oils the acidity index obtained was elevated, making biodiesel production by transesterification impossible by means of homogeneous basic catalysts, which is a widely used process in biodiesel production. 170 However, for other oils that were produced, the acidity indexes were lower, allowing the utilization of transesterification by basic homogeneous catalyst. The biodiesel yields obtained by acid transesterification (76.0 to 95.0%) were higher than those obtained by basic transesterification (65.0 to 84.0%).…”
