Acesso em: .https://bdm.ufpa.br/handle/prefix/8774Research into the development of biofuels that could replace petroleum fuels has received a lot of attention in recent years. And biodiesel is one of these alternatives presented to the world as well as renewable. It emits lower concentrations of gaseous pollutants when compared with petroleum diesel, when produced by means of plant sources it contributes with a significant portion to remove the carbon dioxide, considering that the plants absorb the same through photosynthesis. The objective of this work was to extract the buriti oil by means of soxhlet to study the viability of biodiesel synthesis through basic catalysis using sodium hydroxide as a homogeneous catalyst. The biodiesel of buriti was produced, having as volumetric yield of 81.4 %, the results showed that there is enough water in the pulp of the buriti and the extraction by soxhlet is not viable, since in addition to having presented a low yield the process is of high Cost and solvent employee brings health risks.Acesso AbertoÓleo de buritiTransesterificaçãoCatálise básicaBuriti oilTransesterificationBasic catalysisCNPQ::CIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::QUIMICA::QUIMICA ORGANICA::QUIMICA DOS PRODUTOS NATURAISTrabalho de Curso - Graduação - MonografiaAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazil
