Abstract

The purpose of the present investigation was to use the peel ash of mature Musa x paradisiaca L (plantain) of the variety "valery" as a basic heterogeneous catalyst in the transesterification reaction. The banana peel was dried at a temperature of 80 ° C for 48 hours and then calcined at 700 ° C for 4 hours. In the calcined banana peel ash (CCPC) their potassium (K) content was determined by the colorimetric method, calcium (Ca) by the volumetric method and its basic strength using the Hammett method. Due to the humidity (0.42%) and acidity index (0.27%) of the used vegetable oil, a direct alkaline transesterification was carried out to obtain biodiesel. The highest yield in biodiesel was 86.94% with 2% with respect to the weight of the catalyst (CCPC), methanol / oil molar ratio 6/1, reaction time, 60 minutes. The results of Potassium 515 mg K / Kg and the basic force 9.8 <H_ <12.2 showed that the catalyst obtained presents potential to be used in the transesterification reaction, which is attributed by its high alkalinity due to the large amount of potassium (K) present in its composition
