Produção, aplicação e caracterização em microescala de biocombustível derivado dos resíduos do peixe colossoma macropomum (cuvier, 1818)

Resumo

With exponential growth of different forms of less aggressive energy sources and a possible scarcity of fuels from non-renewable sources, biodiesel becomes a promising product to minimize the environment threats caused by petroleum derivates, besides providing innumerable opportunities in the industrial sector. The present work evaluated the production of biodiesel from Colossoma macropomum fish. Its physicochemical parameters were compared to the minimum limits set by ANP45/2014 resolution. The extraction was done from the fins, head and viscera, followed by grinding/drying steps, soxhlet extraction, washing/filtration and phase separation. Biodiesel synthesis was carried out via transesterification. The acidity index, ester content, specific mass, kinematic viscosity and total sulfur are in agreement with the above resolution; the oxidative stability was only slightly below the minimum limit established by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP).
