Abstract

Biodiesel as an alternative energy can be produced through transesterification reaction from different vegetable oils such as palm oil, coconut oil, jatropha oil and other sources. Jatropha oil has 4.61% free fatty acids (FFA<5%) so the biodiesel production can be done directly by the transesterification reaction. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of transesterification time and the type of catalyst on the yield of biodiesel obtained. The catalysts used are sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and sodium methoxide (CH3ONa) with a concentration of 1% mass of oil dissolved into methanol using of 1:6 molar ratio. Transesterification reaction assisted by ultrasound 35 kHz with different time of reaction (10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 minutes). The highest biodiesel yield was obtained at 30 minutes with 89,531% using KOH as catalyst. The results of physical properties such as viscosity of 5.71 cSt, density of 860.17%, and moisture content of 0.0136% have met SNI 7182-2015 standard.
