The esterification of free fatty acids (FFA) can be used to produce biodiesel from high FFA oils. In this work, a new eco-friendly catalyst for the oleic acid with methanol has been prepared waste material, Amazon flint kaolin, that was thermally treated (at 850 and 950 °C) activated sulfuric solutions (1 M 4 M). metakaolin samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, N2 adsorption–desorption adsorption studies pyridine using TG/DTG FTIR analysis. leached at...

The growing global demand for renewable energy sources can be reached using biofuels such as biodiesel, example. most used route to produce biodiesel is the transesterification reaction of oils or fats with short-chain alcohols, generating fatty acid esters (biodiesel) and a very important by-product, glycerol (Gly). Gly widely in different sectors industry, order add value this heterogeneous catalysis becomes relevant tool, whether transform into other chemical products interest even use it...

The distillate produced by deodorization of palm oil (DDPO) is a waste that corresponds to 4% the product formed in this process. DDPO 83% free fatty acids (FFA), making it good material for biodiesel production. In paper, catalyst prepared from material, Amazon flint kaolin, was used esterification with methanol. Leached metakaolin treated at 950°C and activated 4M sulfuric acid (labeled as MF9S4) offered maximum activity (92.8%) 160°C DDPO:methanol molar ratio 1:60 4-h reaction time....

Developing a biomimetic material to wound care is an emerging need for the healing process. Poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) polymer with necessary dressing’s requirements often used in medicine. Their surface, physic-chemical and biological properties can be modified by adding bioactive compounds, such as andiroba seed oil (Carapa guianensis). This Amazonian natural plant has medicinal pharmacological properties. For this purpose, PCL polymeric films incorporated were investigated. The synthesis...
