Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of renewable energy technology and environmental protection, and in particular to a method for preparing alkane-type biodiesel by using tung oil. Background technique
[0002] Vernicia fordii, also known as tung tree and tung oil tree, is one of the four major woody oil plants in my country. It is a mid-subtropical tree species. It is widely distributed and planted in 12 provinces and cities including Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou, and Guangdong. Tung oil has fast fruiting, the seed oil content reaches 40%, and it is easy to cultivate. Therefore, it can be cultivated and used as a biomass energy tree.
[0003] At present, the main process route of biodiesel is: the use of lower alcohol (methanol) and vegetable oil for transesterification to produce biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester). On the one hand, fatty acid methyl esters have problems such as high oxygen content, poor combustion performance, and difficult storage. [1] . On th...
