Potential of tannery fleshings in biodiesel production and mathematical modeling of the fleshing pre-treatment

Original language description

Waste fat produced by tanneries during the processes in which raw hide is transformed into leather represents a very important raw material for biodiesel production. However, the acid number of this feedstock is usually high above the limit 1 mg KOH/g, which makes it unsuitable for direct processing into biodiesel via alkali-catalyzed transesterification. An effective and economically viable pre-treatment method is needed to overcome this disadvantage and at the same time to maintain the advantage of low price of the feedstock. In this paper, we present a pre-treatment method consisting of the refining melting and deacidification steps. The pre-treatment processes are part of a complex technology for biodiesel production from low quality fats and oils.Mathematical models of the said processes have been elaborated for the optimization of the pre-treatment procedure, as well as a software application developed for simulation of the deacidification step.
