| Article Name : | | | MCM-41 SYNTHESIZED FROM COAL FLY ASH AS A CATALYST IN THE PRODUCTION OF BIODIESEL USING PALM OIL. | | Author Name : | | | M.R. DESHPANDE , N. V. KALYANKAR AND U.D. JOSHI | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-2354 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | Coal fly ash was used to synthesize MCM-41 by alkali fusion followed by hydrothermal treatment and was characterized using various techniques viz. XRD, SEM, FTIR, BET method for surface area measurement etc. The synthesis conditions were optimized to obtain highly crystalline MCM-41 with utmost BET surface area 1102m2/g with high purity. The crystalline nature of the prepared MCM-41 was found to change with fusion temperature and a maximum value was obtained at 5500 C. The cost of synthesized MCM-41 was projected to be very few as compared to that of commercial MCM-41.This work presents the results of transesterification reaction using palm oil as feedstock with methanol and coal fly ash (CFA) catalyst derived to produce methyl esters (biodiesel).The fly ash based catalyst was prepared using the wet impregnation procedure with different loadings of potassium. This was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM etc.naltrexone information go vivitrol uk | | Keywords : | | |
