In our work, biodiesel was prepared from Tra fat by methanolysis reaction using activated calcium oxide as solid base catalyst. Effects of various process parameters on biodiesel production such as molar ratio of methanol to fat, catalyst concentration, temperature and time of reaction and the active mechanism of CaO catalyst for the transesterification reaction were investigated. The results show that CaO has strong basicity and high catalytic activity as a heterogeneous solid base catalyst and the transesterification reaction takes place on basic sites of calcium diglyceroxide formed due to the reaction between Cao and the by-produced glycerol. The biodiesel yield achieves 92.95 % at 60°C, 90 minutes, 8:1 molar ratio of fat to methanol, and 6 % CaO catalyst. Important fuel properties of the produced biodiesel meet the specifications of ASTM D 6751 biodiesel standard.

Abstract Mass-transfer studies of catalyst-aided CO2 absorption and desorption were performed in a full-cycle, bench-scale pilot plant to improve CO2 absorption using 5M MEA, 5M MEA-2M MDEA and 2M BEA-2M AMP. A solid-base catalyst, K/MgO, and an acid catalyst, HZSM-5, were used to facilitate absorption and desorption, respectively. Absorption and desorption mass-transfer performance was presented in terms of the overall mass-transfer coefficient of the gas side (KGav) and liquid side (KLav), respectively. For non-catalytic runs, the highest KGaV and KLaV were 0.086 Kmolm3.kPa.hr  and 0.785 1hr for 2M BEA-2M AMP solvent. The results showed 38.7% KGav and 23.6% KLav increase for 2M BEA-2M AMP with only HZSM-5 catalyst in desorber and a 95% KGaV and 45% KLaV increase for both K/MgO catalyst and HZSM-5 catalyst. This was attributed to the role of K/MgO in bonding loosely with CO2 and making it available for the amine reaction.

MgO/ZrO2-La2O3-y solid base catalyst was prepared by precipitation immersion process. Raman spectroscope and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) were used to determinate the surface phase and bulk phase of solid base catalyst. Temperature programmed desorption of CO2 (CO2-TPD) was employed to study the surface basicity of the catalyst. The results reveal that Mg2+ ion plays a key role in the stabilization of tetragonal phase ZrO2 not only in the bulk but also on the surface of catalyst when the Mg/Zr molar ratio is 0.4. The doping of La2O3 has the role of improving the dispersion of the active component MgO on ZrO2 surface, consequently resulting in the improvement of the catalytic activity of the catalyst rather than stabilizing tetragonal phase ZrO2.
