Abstract

Aiming at the measurement of methanol content during the synthesis of methyl oleate from methanol and oleic acid with immobilized lipase in solvent-free and non aqueous media, a rapid measurement method of "centrifugation-near infrared(NIR) transmission" was proposed and a portable NIR transmission measurement system for methanol content was designed. The linear relationship between the methanol content and the absorbance of solution based on Lambert-Beer law was established. The experimental results demonstrate that this measurement system is stable and reliable with methanol content in actual work range of 0~25%, the root mean square error (RMSE) between the measured value and real value is 1.036, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) of the sample data is 1.06%~7.58%. A mathematical model was established with partial least squares (PLS) in the spectral range of 4500~9000 cm-1, six groups of samples with different methanol content were measured and the RMSE between the measured value of this system and the PLS model prediction is 0.263. It provides an effective measurement technology which contributes to increase the conversion and efficiency in biodiesel synthesis.
