【 摘 要 】

In this research, heterogeneous solid base catalysts were derived from corn cobs. The solid base catalyst was obtained which was then used for the production of palm oil biodiesel with a transesterification reaction. The catalyst prepared corn cobs with impregnation of NaOH then calcined temperature 400°C at 2 hours. The optimum conditions for the function of duration reaction time and catalyst amount obtained catalyst amount 3% at 60 minutes, temperature 65°C, ratio methanol to oil 12:1 obtained yield of biodiesel 93.10% while the function of reaction temperature and catalyst amount obtained catalyst amount 2.5%, ratio methanol to oil 12:1, at duration time is 60 minutes and temperature 60°C obtained yields 97.35%. The catalyst was easily separated from the reaction mixture by filtration and able to reuse for 2 times. The biodiesel product is specified with EN14214. Heterogeneous catalysts derived from corn cobs that show high-cost potential and produce easy ones as solid catalysts for the transesterification reaction of biodiesel production.
