Abstract:The high-voltage AC electric field was used to promote the separation of soybean oil-methanol transesterification product biodiesel and glycerin. The effects of electric field strength, alcohol-to-oil molar ratio and catalyst on the sedimentation rate of glycerin droplets were explored, and the physical properties of biodiesel and byproduct glycerin prepared under different transesterification conditions were measured. The results show that the high-voltage AC electric field can effectively improve the separation efficiency of biodiesel and glycerin. GC-MS test results show that high-strength electric fields has no effect on the quality of biodiesel. In the electric field formed by spiral electrode, the coalescence efficiency of glycerin reaches the maximum when the electric field strength of E′ is 175 V·mm-1. Different molar ratios of alcohol and oil can cause differences in the physical properties of the by-product glycerin and have little effect on the sedimentation rate of glycerin droplets. The increase of alkaline catalyst content can promote the sedimentation of glycerin, and the sedimentation efficiency of glycerin under the action of potassium hydroxide is increased.
