To establish a green platform for biodiesel production, this study mainly investigates pseudo-catalytic (non-catalytic) transesterification of olive oil. To this end, biochar from agricultural waste (maize residue) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) as an acyl acceptor were used for pseudo-catalytic transesterification reaction. Reaction parameters (temperature and molar ratio of DMC to olive oil) were also optimized. The biodiesel yield reached up to 95.4% under the optimal operational conditions (380°C and molar ratio of DMC to olive oil (36:1)). The new sustainable environmentally benign biodiesel production introduced in this study is greener and faster than conventional transesterification reactions.
为建立生物柴油生产的绿色平台，本研究主要研究了橄榄油烟点的假催化（非催化）酯交换。为此，采用农业废弃物（玉米秸秆）生物炭和碳酸二甲酯（DMC）作为酰基接受体进行假催化酯交换反应。还优化了反应参数（温度和 DMC 与橄榄油的摩尔比）。在最佳操作条件下（380°C 和 DMC 与橄榄油的摩尔比（36:1）），生物柴油的产率高达 95.4%。本研究中引入的新型可持续环保生物柴油生产方法比传统酯交换反应更环保、更快。
