Adsorption cleaning of post-frying fats prior to biodiesel production
Summary.

The effectiveness of the adsorptive removal of contaminations from post-frying fats has been assessed in terms of their use in biodiesel production. The materials were three post-frying fats coming from catering points. In stage I of the study cleaning effectiveness of three different doses of the individual adsorbents: synthetic silica, bleaching clay, activated carbon and silica gel was studied. In stage II cleaning effectiveness of five adsorbent mixtures was tested. The most effective adsorbent mixture was used in stage III to clean three fats with different content of contamination. The effectiveness of the cleaning was determined by the content of hydrolysis and oxidation products and polar compounds. It was found that adsorbent mixtures were not effective in removing free fatty acids. The degree of peroxides removing depended on the type, quantities and proportions of adsorbents in mixture. Bleaching clay and its combination with silica gel, removed most peroxides (more than 80%). Secondary products of oxidation were effectively removed by all adsorbents. Polar compounds were removed by all adsorbent mixtures at approximately the same level.
