“…The data ( Table 1) also display that methyl oleate is the most prominent component of the sample, which is in accordance with the existence of oleic acid as the 2,19 . The presence of methyl laurate suggested that lauric acid, which is the most abundant component of coconut oil [20][21][22] has been converted into biodiesel.…”

“…The seed of this plant contains vegetable oil in substantial amount, ranging from 40 to 59% [1][2] , which makes this non-edible vegetable oil an interesting alternative raw material for biodiesel production. Despite this potential, unlike those derived from other raw materials, biodiesel derived from rubber seed oil has not reached the commercial stage.…”

This study was carried out to examine the potential of conversion of rubber seed oil into biodiesel. A series experiments was conducted using CaO and CaO/SiO 2 as catalyst and coconut oil as co-reactant, with the main purpose to assess the effect of calcination temperatures on the performance of the catalysts. The results obtained demonstrate that the use of coconut oil as coreactant significantly promoted conversion of fatty acids in rubber seed oil into their corresponding methyl esters. It was also found that the catalytic activity of both CaO and CaO/SiO 2 was significantly influenced by calcination temperatures and at the same temperature, CaO/SiO 2 exhibited higher activity than unsupported CaO. The highest yield was achieved using CaO/SiO 2 catalyst subjected to calcination at 800 o C

In this study, syntheses of bifunctional catalyst (CaO-MgO/SiO 2 ) with different ratios of CaO: MgO:SiO 2 of 1:1:3 and 1:1:5 were carried out by sol-gel method. The catalysts were subjected to calcination temperatures of 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 o C for 6 h at peak temperatures, and then tested as catalyst in a series of transesterification of rubber seed oil without and with the use of coconut oil as co-reactant. Several kinetic variables of transesterification were also investigated. The results revealed that the catalyst with the composition of CaO-MgO/SiO 2 1:1:5 and subjected to calcination temperature of 800°C functioned as the most active catalyst. The highest percent of conversion 90% was resulted from the experiment with the use of 5% catalyst, 50 mL methanol, 10% co-reactant, temperature of 70 o C and reaction time of 6 hours.
