OPTIMIZING BIODISEL PRODUCTION FROM WASTE EDIBLE OILS REGARDING QUALITY REQUIREMENTS

Sažetak:Iz dosadašnjih istraživanja vidljivo je da neprestano iscrpljivanje fosilnih goriva utječe na okoliš, a postojeće rezerve nafte dostatne su za pedesetak godina. Kako je potreba za energentima sve veća, tako se i energetska politika Europske unije okrećerazvoju i istraživanju obnovljivih izvora energije, među koje spada i biodizel.U radu su istražene mogućnosti optimiranja proizvodnje biodizela iz različitih mješavina otpadnih jestivih i biljnih ulja uz zadovoljenje zahtjeva kvalitete. U uvodnom dijelu prikazani su problematika energetskog razvoja, počeci upotrebe biogoriva, te biljna ulja kao zamjena za dizel goriva.Summary:An overview of the previous research shows that continuous depletion of fossil fuels affects the environment, and existing oil reserves are sufficient for next 50 years. As the demand for energy increases, the energy policy of the European Union turns to research and development of renewable energy sources, which biodiesel is part of.The dissertation explores the possibilities of optimizing the production of biodiesel from various blends of waste vegetable and edible oil to meet quality demands. The introductory part deals with the problems of energy development, the beginnings of the use of biofuels, vegetable oils as a substitute for diesel fuels
