Statistical Analysis and Optimization of Biodiesel Production from Waste Coffee Grounds by a Two-step Process

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Biodiesel was produced using waste coffee grounds (WCGs) via a two-step process comprising lipid extraction and subsequent transesterification steps. Each step was statistically analyzed, and optimum conditions for each step were suggested. WCGs were found to have 16.4% lipid content with 1.9% free fatty acid (FFA) content. The liquid-solid ratio (LSR) significantly influenced lipid extraction from WCGs, while extraction time and temperature did not; 92.7% of lipid extraction efficiency was achieved at 13.7 mL-hexane/g-WCGs, 30 min of extraction time, and 25°C. Owing to the relatively low FFA content, an alkaline catalyst (NaOH) reaction was used that requires less amount of catalyst, methanol, and shorter reaction time compared to an acid catalyst reaction. Reaction time and temperature were the major factors affecting biodiesel conversion, and 94.0% of biodiesel conversion was obtained at optimum conditions for transesterification: 0.5% catalyst, 1.5 mLmethanol/ g-lipid, 45°C, and 9 h of reaction time. With the use of statistical analysis tools, high lipid extraction efficiency and biodiesel conversion were achieved at relatively mild conditions, which would reduce biodiesel production cost substantially.
