In this paper, it is presented an experiment carried out with the objective of knowing the optimum roductionprocess in order to generate bio diesel by alkaline transesterification, from residual vegetable oils from theRestaurants in San Borja. In order to do so, first of all of the residual vegetal oil collected was analyzed, then itwas determined the concentration of methanol (%v/v), the concentration of potassium hydroxide (%p/p) andthe optimum reaction time, and lastly, it was determined the bio diesel quality produced. The results showed that it is possible to generate biodiesel from the collected oil, due to its grade of acidity(1,56%) was lower than 3%. The optimum conditions to get the maximum conversion of the reaction wereachieved when it was used a methanol concentration of 30%, a concentration of potassium hydroxide of 0,4%regarding the weight of the oil and a reaction time of...

El objetivo de esta investigación es conocer el proceso de producción óptimo para generar biodiesel, por transesterificación alcalina, a partir de aceites vegetales residuales de los restaurantes del distrito de San Borja, Lima- Perú. Para ello, se analizó el aceite vegetal residual recolectado, se determinó la concentración de metanol (%v/v), la concentración de hidróxido de potasio (%p/p), el tiempo de reacción óptimo, y por último se determinó la calidad del biodiesel producido. Los resultados mostraron que es posible realizar biodiesel con el aceite recolectado, ya que su grado de acidez (1,56%) fue inferior al 3%. Las condiciones óptimas para lograr la máxima conversión de la reacción se obtuvieron cuando se usó una concentración de metanol del 30%, una concentración de hidróxido de potasio del 0,4% respecto al peso del aceite y un tiempo de reacción de 3 hrs ...
