Abstract

Biodiesel is generally produced from food-related materials such as vegetable oil and animal fat (tallow). The most commonly used source is vegetable oil waste ; however, its supply is limited. Should there be a shortage of vegetable oil waste, biodiesel production may turn to fresh vegetable oil as a source, with possible impacts on the food supply. Several non-food resources were investigated as prospective sources for biodiesel production, and pulping byproducts have shown potential. Tall oil was selected as a representative byproduct typical of the pulping process, and early trials showed that a reasonable amount of biodiesel yield was able to be produced. Initially, several issues were found which would limit the practicality of producing biodiesel from tall oil : reaction time, reaction temperature, reduction of chemical usages, the role of acetyl chloride, and the reduction of solvent consumption amount. Through experimentation, most of these potential issues were able to be mitigated, supporting the very real possibility of mass producing biodiesel from pulping byproducts.
