Abstract
In order to determine the rational parameters of biofuel from rapeseed oil studies were conducted in accordance with the method rototabelnym experimental design, provides the most accurate mathematical description of the processes. The problem of optimizing process biofuel using rapeseed oil was to find conditions under which the yield of the final product - the maximum, with a balanced content of the catalyst (KOH) and methyl alcohol (CH3OH) in biofuel. Optimum intervals of input parameters are received: the maintenance of the catalyst makes 1,719% of the lump of a ready-made product, the content of methyl alcohol – 16,189% of the lump of a ready-made product. For implementation reaction of a pereeterifikation it is necessary to maintain temperature of mix of 58,92 deg C. As a result of multivariate statistical analysis of the process of producing biofuels was obtained regression equation, analysis of which allows you to identify the factors most influencing the reporting process of obtaining biofuels from rapeseed oil.
