Abstract

The increasing need for fossil fuels encourages efforts to meet these needs, by developing alternative fuels made from renewable raw materials, such as cooking oil from palm oil. Cooking oil is an important commodity at this time which is quite widespread in Indonesia. The repeated use of cooking oil can produce used cooking oil that cannot be re-consumed and has a negative impact on the environment. The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of low rank coal with thermal assistance as a heterogeneous catalyst to produce biodiesel and to study the effect of biodiesel product quality parameters on the esterification and transesterification processes. Therefore, in this study the production of biodiesel from used cooking oil was carried out using a low rank coal catalyst, to determine the effect of the amount of catalyst on the yield and quality of the biodiesel produced. Biodiesel is obtained by reacting oil and methanol, then low rank coal catalyst is added with various mass additions of 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 grams. Based on this study, the best results were obtained with the addition of 7 grams of catalyst, with biodiesel yield reaching 82.20%, density 864.43 kg/m3, kinematic viscosity 3.60 cSt, water content 0.20%. , the acid number is 0.99 mgKOH/g, and the methyl ester content is 97.48%. In general, the biodiesel produced has met the requirements of SNI 7182:2015, except for the parameters of water content and acid number.
