Esterification of a waste cooking oil using metal-hybrid catalysts for chemoenzymatic reactions
Waste cooking oil (WCO) serve as a cheap feedstocks for biodiesel production. However, the high acidity of this oil disqualifies it from using alkaline transesterification as the synthesis reaction for biodiesel production. Thus, the integration of enzymatic and chemical catalysts to form a hybrid c...

Waste cooking oil (WCO) serve as a cheap feedstocks for biodiesel production. However, the high acidity of this oil disqualifies it from using alkaline transesterification as the synthesis reaction for biodiesel production. Thus, the integration of enzymatic and chemical catalysts to form a hybrid catalyst for reducing oil acidity is a new option in the biodiesel industry. In the present study, five types of metal oxides and Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) were sequentially co-immobilized on the Alumina (Al2O3) for esterification of free fatty acid (FFA) to fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs).The lowest FFA content achieved was 1.10% using CRL-CaO-Al2O3for 24 h esterification reaction, correspond to a conversion rates of 66.94%.
