本文研究了以赤泥为催化剂的麻花植物油制备生物柴油。裂解过程在保持在65摄氏度的反应器中进行，以获得生物柴油。对裂解后产品的闪点、燃点、热值、比重等物化性能进行了评价，并与纯柴油进行了比较。然后将生物柴油与诸如B25、B50、B75和B100的柴油按体积混合。在一台单缸水冷直喷式柴油机上进行了排放特性试验。结果表明，使用赤泥作为催化剂，提高了燃料的性质，减少了环境污染的影响。这种制备生物柴油的方法非常具有成本效益，而且使用赤泥作为催化剂比纯柴油进一步降低了生物柴油的成本。
ABSTRACT In this work, Mahua vegetable oil in the presence of red mud as a catalyst for the preparation of bio-diesel is investigated. The cracking process is carried out in a reactor chamber maintained at a temperature of 65°C in order to obtain biodiesel. The product obtained after the cracking process is evaluated for physio-chemical properties such as flash point, fire point, calorific value, and specific gravity, and the obtained values were compared with neat diesel. The biodiesel is then blended with diesel fuel on volume basis such as B25, B50, B75, and B100. The experiment was carried out in a single cylinder, water cooled DI diesel engine to study the emission characteristics. The results revealed that the use of red mud as a catalyst increases the fuel property and reduces the effect of environmental pollution. This method of biodiesel preparation is very much cost effective and the use of red mud as a catalyst further decreases the cost of biodiesel compared to neat diesel.
