摘要

En 中文
The growing demand for alternative energy sources to combat climate change has positioned biodiesel as a viable solution. Derived from vegetable oils, fatty acids, animal fats, or algae, biodiesel offers a renewable alternative to conventional diesel with reduced greenhouse gas emissions. This study investigates the use of 3D printed microreactors for biodiesel synthesis, emphasizing the benefits of microreactors such as efficient mixing, enhanced heat transfer, and precise reaction control. Five microreactor configurations with static mixers were analyzed for their effectiveness in biodiesel production through transesterification. Additionally, 3D printed microseparators were integrated into the system to streamline the separation process. The results show that microreactors, especially those with complex geometries made possible by 3D printing, significantly improve reaction yields and reduce waste compared to traditional batch reactors. The most effective system was the T10E microreactor, achieving a 96.1% yield in 9.6 min, paired with the MSv5 microseparator, which resulted in a biodiesel separation factor of 54.9%. This research demonstrates the potential of 3D printed microreactors and microseparators to advance sustainable biodiesel production and offers a promising approach for scalable and cost-effective biofuel synthesis.
