Investigation of Free Flycerin and Potassium Ion Adsorption by DudaLite DW-R10 Ion-Exchange Resin
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerThe goal of this project was to design and test a small-scale biodiesel refinery to accompany the biodiesel reactor in Goddard Hall. Tests were performed at varying levels of contamination and flow rate to determine the efficiency and life-span of the dry wash resin, DudaLite DW-R10 Ion-Exchange Resin. Glycerol and potassium concentrations were measured using a glycerol assay, potassium ion selective electrode, and titration. It was determined that the resin refined the biodiesel to industry standards.
