Abstract
The production of biodiesel from the lipid of wastewater sludge was studied using SBA-15 impregnated with the heteropolyacid H 3PO 4·12WO 3·xH 2O (PW 12) as a mesoporous heterogeneous catalyst. X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area, thermalgravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy were applied to characterize the prepared catalysts. Catalytic performances were evaluated in a microreactor setup under different experimental conditions. The biodiesel yield for a sample impregnated with 15% PW 12 was 30.14wt-% at a temperature of 135°C and a pressure of 135psi for 3h reaction time. The potential of a mesoporous ordered silica impregnated with the heteropolyacid H 3PO 4·12WO 3·xH 2O (PW 12) was evaluated to produce biodiesel from the solid sludge from wastewater treatment plants. Catalytic performances were investigated in a microreactor setup under different experimental conditions.
