چکیده

Biodiesel is an attractive alternative fuel because of its nontoxicity and biodegradability. Biodiesel isproduced through transesterification of vegetable oils’ triglyceride. It is obtained from vegetable oils orfats either by chemical or enzyme-catalyzed transesterification with methanol or ethanol. Use ofwhole-cell biocatalyst immobilized within biomass support particles (BSPs) can overcome the obstacleof high cost of enzymatic catalyst. The objective of this research is to produce clay foam ceramic asBSP by replica method from raw materials such as clay, sodium silicate and sodium tripolyphosphate.To prepare the whole cell biocatalyst Rhizopus oryzae fungi (PTCC 5174) was immobilized on theceramic foam with bulk density and porosity of 0.3 g/cm3 and 88.8%, respectively. The depositedbiomass on clay foam particles can be observed through scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). Apacked-bed reactor (PBR) system using whole-cell biocatalyst was developed for biodiesel productionby pretreated used cooking oil (UCO). Clay foam ceramic seems to be more suitable compared topolyurethane foam for supporting fungi immobilization because it shows high mechanical strength andreduces damaged microorganisms

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
