Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The novel efficient synthesis process of biodiesel fuel through the simultaneous transesterification and acetalization using a simulated moving bed reactor was proposed. The raw feed of monoacetin as model glyceride and acetone was fed to the simulated moving bed reactor. Byproduct of transesterification glycerol was effectively converted to solketal with a promising fuel additive through acetalization with acetone and solketal eluted together with a model desired product ethyl acetate. It was concluded that the proposed reaction system has a promising potential to achieve the simultaneous efficient production of biodiesel and glycerol-derived compound, solketal.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の成果により、バイオディーゼルの高効率合成とともに、バイオディーゼル合成時の副生成物であり用途開発が望まれていたグリセリンの有効利用も同時に達成できる可能性が示された。また、グリセリンのアセタール化により生じるソルケタールは燃料添加剤としての可能性もあり、バイオディーゼルとソルケタールを混合状態で得ることができる本研究のプロセスは環境調和型社会の構築に大いに貢献すると考える。
