Taiwan Into Cooking Oil

Published by:

The team of National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) of the Republic of China (Taiwan) turns used cooking oil into bio-diesel a team of National Cheng Kung University in the southern Taiwan in Tainan has developed a method to convert used cooking oil into biodiesel. While the edible oil catalyst is heated for 10 seconds in a microwave oven with a strontium oxide. This technology will be expected to be within a year in mass production. The process has been by the NCKU team headed by Professor Liao Jiunn-, Department of materials science and engineering, and Aharon thoughts, Professor of the Israeli Bar-Ilan University, develops. anta. This technology, which transforms 99% of the used Speiseols in bio-diesel, was applied for the patent. Taiwan produces around 540,000 tonnes waste of used cooking oil, a fact that poses a serious environmental problem. For many years, Prof. has thought with the EU, to convert the used cooking oil for bio-diesel. According to Prof. thoughts are the Kernnanotechnologien highly efficient and produce in addition to biodiesel 1% glycerol. Thus, nothing is wasted. Usually alkali salts used in the conversion of edible oil to biodiesel. This process, however, has a lower efficiency and it is very difficult to regain the alkali salts. The solid phase method of the NCKU of strontium oxide is used in the form of a Siliceapellet substrate, is two and a half times more efficient. The catalyst can fully recover itself and therefore saves resources and reduces costs. The prototype constructed by team has a daily production capacity of 100 kilograms and can be enlarged according to Prof. easily 10 times or more thoughts when needed. Along with the U.N. Framework Convention on climate change and the global trend towards the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions has Taiwan in 2004 a bio-diesel plan adopted. Since the beginning of 2008, it is necessary that diesel fuel contains at least 1% biodiesel. 2010, the proportion increasing to 2%, 2016 5% – with further planned increases in the next few years. The domestic production of biodiesel is currently with an annual NT$ 3 billion (US$ 102 million) assessed.

Then came others as report Meadows, the Gaia hypothesis or the message to peoples of Peron, all of 1972.Las United Nations have taken charge of the problem as evidenced by the 1992 Global climate change Convention and its consequent Kyoto Protocol of 1997. Some scientists argue that it should put limits on emissions of carbon dioxide, considered one of the sources more dangerous pollution, although not the only one. Others argue with the Foundation which directly have to eliminate these emissions, so that life in the planet continued. And for that of the indesglosabilidad above pointed, the question arises which substitutes of hydrocarbons, such as biofuels, could put at risk the food security of the sectors more carecientes of the planetary population. The range of solutions-that should be check thanks to the possibilities of the Internet, and that their knowledge largely limited to worlds as the hispanolusoparlante, because the contents circulating are still mostly in language English – oscillates between what estimate that this whole complex problem has technological solutions and those who believe that only a cultural change, can afford to address this crucial issue. Although personally we are more prone to this position, we are those who believe an incorporation critique of existing technologies or to be generated, it is compatible with a cultural change. We have maintained that we can harmonise guidelines as the domestic economy with so-called disruptive technologies, if We make a critical appropriation of them. Confining us to the Argentinean case (and notwithstanding that it is transportable to other geographical contexts), estimate that we can minimize our carbon footprints, or minimize or directly eliminate the emissions of carbon dioxide that each generates in their daily chores, returning to the practices of the home, or home economy with the technological additions compatible with the objective of not polluting and hunt. Such practices – as we have argued repeatedly can be columbradas in the almanacs of the Ministry of agriculture livestock who edited in Argentina between 1925 and 1954 – were gradual or traumatically replaced by artifacts and practices that were part of the american way or life.
