PROSES PRODUKSI BIODIESEL DARI MINYAK JELANTAH MENGGUNAKAN MICROWAVE HYDRO DISTILLATION DAN SEPARASI TEGANGAN TINGGI

Abstract

The development of alternative fuels is very necessary and a challenge for expert competent at this time. One of the alternative fuel is biomass utilization (biological materials) to produce biodiesel as a diesel fuel substitute. The process of making biodiesel using microwave heating using the reactor as a medium in microwave type of hydro distillation and equipped with high-intensity separator up to 400 KV.In the process of making biodiesel, there are several factors that affect the process of warming that is the molar ratio of waste cooking oil and methanol, the reaction temperature, reaction time, voltage, as well as the distance between the electrodes.The influence of various factors that can be seen from the results per cent yield and characteristics of biodiesel.From this research has done the optimum variations obtained on production process for obtained percent to yield the highest as well as products with characteristics in accordance with the standards of the SNI 7182-2015.Variation of 1:9 molar ratioobtained of 84.855% yield, reaction time 12 minutes obtained 86.04% yield, temperature of reaction 60 0Cobtained 88.91% yield, as well as voltage and electrode distance 3 cm and 266 KV obtained 74.73% yield
