Abstract
Telah dilakukan penelitian tentang sintesis biodiesel dari minyak mikroalga Nannochloropsis sp. melalui transesterifikasi menggunakan katalis basa. Isolasi minyak mikroalga dilakukan dengan metode ekstraksi soxhlet menggunakan pelarut n-heksan, diperoleh ekstrak minyak dalam fraksi lipid sebanyak 23,793 gram dengan rendemen 5,28 %. Sintesis biodiesel/metil ester asam lemak melalui transesterifikasi dengan variasi katalis KOH dan K2CO3. Metil ester yang terbentuk dianalisis menggunakan 1H NMR. Puncak proton metoksi dari metil ester tampak pada δ ± 3,7 ppm. Luas puncaknya menunjukkan kelimpahan proton metoksi dari metil ester pada penggunaan katalis K2CO3 lebih besar dari penggunaan KOH. Hasil analisis GC-MS menunjukkan komposisi asam lemak penyusun minyak mikroalga adalah asam miristat, palmitoleat, palmitat, linolelaidat, elaidat, dan stearat. Biodiesel B5 mikroalga (blending 5% biodiesel dan 95% solar murni) mempunyai sifat viskositas kinematik 40°C sebesar 4,71 mm2.s-1 dan density 15°C sebesar 862 kg.cm-3. Hasil analisis ini menunjukkan bahwa sifat viskositas kinematik dan density biodiesel B5 mikroalga memenuhi syarat dalam batasan standar Dirjen Migas.
