DISPONIBILIDAD Y PURIFICACIÓN DE LOS ACEITES VEGETALES GASTADOS A ESCALA LABORATORIO PARA USARLOS COMO MATERIA PRIMA OLEOQUÍMICA

Abstract

This work shows a statistical and experimental study of the fried wasted oils in the city of Bucaramanga with the objective of determination the readiness, quality and some desacidification methods to transform them into raw material for olechemicals. The analysis reports satisfactory resulís in quantity, readiness, quality and later desacidification; acidic values superior to (3.0) were not found. The variables analyzed in the design of experiments for the desacidification for alkaline solution were: concentration of the alkali, acidity value and temperature of the AVG, and the effect of agitation velocity during the reaction.
