Organic Synthesis Intermediate (High School) 60 dak ~$12,00

Hedef

Bitkisel yağı metanol ile baz katalizörlü transesterifikasyon reaksiyonu yardımıyla biyodizele (yağ asidi metil esterlerine) dönüştürmek.

Arka Plan

Biodiesel is produced by reacting triglycerides (vegetable oil) with methanol in the presence of a base catalyst (NaOH or KOH). The process replaces the glycerol backbone with methanol, producing fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) that can fuel diesel engines. Glycerol is the byproduct.

Güvenlik Uyarıları

  • Methanol is toxic and flammable — work in fume hood
  • NaOH is corrosive
  • Do not heat methanol with open flames
  • Adequate ventilation is essential

Ekipman

500 mL Erlenmeyer flask Hot plate with stirrer Separating funnel Thermometer Magnetic stir bar

Prosedür

1

Dissolve 1 g NaOH in 20 mL methanol to create sodium methoxide. Stir until fully dissolved.

5 dak Exothermic — methanol is flammable
2

Heat 100 mL of vegetable oil to 55°C in the Erlenmeyer flask on the hot plate.

5 dak
3

Add the sodium methoxide/methanol solution to the warm oil. Stir vigorously.

2 dak
4

Maintain temperature at 55-60°C and stir continuously for 30 minutes.

30 dak Keep in fume hood
5

Transfer the mixture to a separating funnel and allow to settle for 15 minutes. Two layers should form.

15 dak
6

Drain the lower glycerol layer (dark, viscous). The upper layer is crude biodiesel.

3 dak
7

Wash the biodiesel layer gently with 50 mL warm distilled water. Allow to separate and drain the water.

5 dak
8

Record the volume of biodiesel produced and calculate the conversion rate.

3 dak

Beklenen Sonuçlar

Two distinct layers: biodiesel (clear, amber upper layer) and glycerol (dark, viscous lower layer). The biodiesel should be less viscous than the original oil. Typical yield is 85-95% by volume.

Temizlik

Glycerol can be disposed of down the drain (biodegradable). Dispose of methanol waste properly. Rinse glassware. The biodiesel should not be used as fuel without further purification.
