Abstract:
Seeds total use policy consists in the use of two different methodologies applied together, forming a favorable non residue environmentally favorable production cycle: The two used techniques are biodiesel from oil seed and LTC - Low Temperature Conversion methodologies. The process first step is the oilseed extraction by Soxhlet in hexane. This step produces two products: Oil, liquid part and the called tart, extraction solid residue. The oil is used to produce biodiesel by basic catalysis, transesterification reaction and the tart is used in the LTC process, technique that consists of heating residues at the temperature of 380ºC-400ºC under an inert atmosphere producing four different compounds: Pyrolysis oil, gas, water and pyrolytic char. This study objective is to develop a methodology which is able to use it own residue to produce alternative energy sources to its cycle working and even to obtain products that are useful in to the agricultural step, assisting the seeds cultivation phase, for example. The obtained compounds are characterized by IR, GC-MS and other parameters following the Brazilian standard regulation for biodiesel, ANP. This methodology is in accordance with the actual green chemistry, don't generates waste, but use it to generate products of higher commercial value.
