Data for Kinetic and thermodynamic analysis of waste cooking oil transesterification for biodiesel production in a microreactor

Biodiesel production offers a promising route towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. However, the move away from crop-based feedstocks towards a variable waste base feed oil presents several challenges. This study addresses these challenges by using waste cooking oil (WCO) as a renewable feedstock for transesterification in a microreactor. Kinetic analysis was performed using both pseudo-homogeneous and biphasic second-order models to evaluate their suitability for describing the reaction.

生物柴油（Biodiesel）生产为实现2050年净零排放目标提供了极具前景的技术路径。然而，从农作物基原料转向使用成分多变的废弃餐饮用油作为替代原料，面临诸多现实挑战。本研究以废弃餐饮用油（waste cooking oil, WCO）作为可再生原料，在微反应器（microreactor）中开展酯交换反应（transesterification），以此应对上述挑战。本研究分别采用拟均相模型与双相二级模型开展动力学分析，以评估二者对该反应过程的适配性。
