Application of response surface methodology to optimize the treatment process of high conversion of free fatty acids using (1R)-(-)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid and iron(III) sulphate

This study investigates biodiesel production from acidic crude palm oil using one homogeneous catalyst, (1R)-(-)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid (10-CSA), and one heterogeneous catalyst, iron(III) sulphate, focusing on their catalytic activity, recyclability, and process optimisation by using response surf...

description This study investigates biodiesel production from acidic crude palm oil using one homogeneous catalyst, (1R)-(-)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid (10-CSA), and one heterogeneous catalyst, iron(III) sulphate, focusing on their catalytic activity, recyclability, and process optimisation by using response surface methodology. Optimal conditions were identified by utilising a Box-Behnken factorial design. For 10-CSA, the optimised conditions yielded a free fatty acid (FFA) reduction to 0.43 wt.%, with a catalyst dosage of 1.5 wt.% (investigated range: 1.0-2.0 wt.%), methanol-to-oil molar ratio of 12.67:1 (investigated range: 10 to 14:1), reaction temperature of 59.6°C (investigated range: 50 to 65°C), and reaction time of 33.1 min (investigated range: 30 to 40 min). For iron(III) sulphate, the optimised conditions led to FFA reduction to 1.04 wt.%, with a catalyst dosage of 3.14 wt.% (investigated range: 2.5 to 3.5 wt.%), methanol-to-oil molar ratio of 12:1 (investigated range: 10 to 14:1), reaction temperature of 60°C (investigated range: 55 to 70°C), and reaction time of 178.6 min (investigated range: 150 to 180 min). Results of the ANOVA analysis confirmed the significance of key factors for both catalysts (p < 0.05), with R² values of 0.937 for 10-CSA and 0.916 for iron(III) sulphate, indicating strong model fits. The mean relative percent deviation (MRPD) was <5 % for both models, demonstrating high predictive accuracy. The lack of fit was found to be insignificant (p > 0.05), confirming the adequacy of the models. Both catalysts achieved high FFA conversions of 95.2 % for 10-CSA and 88.2 % for iron(III) sulphate, which meets the EN 14214 and ASTM D6751 standards. Notably, 10-CSA exhibited superior catalytic activity and recyclability, highlighting its potential for industrial-scale biodiesel production. This study offers practical insights into optimising esterification processes for biodiesel production from acidic crude palm oil.
