In this study, the catalytic activity of dolomite was evaluated for the transesterification of Colombian RBD palm oil with methanol, carried out in a batch reactor at 333,15K and 600rpm. The activated dolomites (calcined at 1073.15K for 2h) were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Hammett indicators method, and quantification of the surface area, average pore size and average pore volume BET. The influence of reaction variables such as catalyst amount (%wt /wt) and methanol / palm oil molar ratio (mole/mole) was investigated. Under the suitable reaction conditions, the amount of calcined dolomite equal to 4% (wt /wt) based on the weight of oil, the methanol-oil molar ratio equal to 9:1, and the reaction time = 1h, the methyl ester content of 82.67% of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) can be achieved.

En el presente estudio se investigó la actividad de la dolomita como catalizador en la transesterificación con metanol del aceite de palma RBD colombiano, llevada a cabo en un reactor tipo Batch a 333.15 K y 600 rpm. Se efectuó la caracterización de la dolomita calcinada a 1073.15K por 2 horas, mediante microscopía electrónica de barrido (SEM), espectrometría de dispersión de energía de rayos X (EDS), espectrometría infrarroja con transformada de Fourier (FTIR), cuantificación del área superficial, diámetro de poro y volumen de poro BET y medición de la fuerza básica de la superficie del catalizador por medio de la prueba de Hammett. Igualmente, la influencia de la cantidad de catalizador (% m/m) y la relación molar metanol-aceite (mol/mol) fue investigada. El máximo rendimiento obtenido fue 82.67% de esteres metílicos de ácidos grasos (FAME) a una relación molar metanol aceite de 9:1 (mole/mole), 4% (m/m) de catalizador a 1 h de reacción.
