Produção de biodiesel como proposta de reciclagem ao óleo residual de fritura: uma pesquisa de viabilidade econômica no município frutuoso gomes

Abstract

The growing demand for energy sources has driven society to develop technologies and seek alternatives that are reshaping the world and environmental structures on an unprecedented scale. The increasing extraction of fossil resources has raised pollution levels on our planet. The key to addressing part of this issue lies in the concept of "sustainability." Cooking oils, commonly used for frying, have properties that can be explored and utilized as renewable fuel. This study aims to reuse residual frying oils as raw material for biodiesel synthesis, investigating, through chemical processes and analyses, the potential of this raw material as a fuel.
