ENERGY FARMING COAL FOR BIODIESEL PRODUCTION
Patent number:
ES2857448
No items found.
This invention relates to the use of non-activated charcoal synthesized from the husks of the energy crop of the Pongamia pinnata as an adsorbent to reduce the content of free fatty acids present in the oils, serving as a pre-reaction step for the transesterification of biodiesel production.

Applications
● Favors circular economy. It uses residual biomass that adds value to the waste generated within the process. ● Cost reduction. By using a waste product, biodiesel production costs are considerably reduced. ● The simplicity of the process. It allows working at room temperature and replaces the esterification stage. ● Safe and environmentally friendly. The use of coal avoids the use of strong acids.
