Biodiesel production from waste cooking oil: An efficient technique to convert waste into biodiesel
Abstract
Abstract Biodiesel production from waste oils is an attractive option to produce biodiesel economically, but high free fatty acids (FFA) in waste oils are a serious bottleneck for the process of transesterification. Present investigation deals with the utilization of waste cooking oil (WCO) for the production of biodiesel. The acid value of WCO was 5.5 mg KOH/g which indicated high FFA content. The WCO was subjected to esterification using different acid catalysts (HCl, H2SO4 and H3PO4) and H2SO4 catalyzed reaction was found to be the most efficient since the FFA reduced up to 88.8% at 60 °C with 1:2.5 methanol to oil molar ratio. Transesterification was done in the presence of alkali catalyst (KOH) and Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) yield was 94% in the presence of 1% catalyst at 50 °C. The biodiesel was characterized based on acid value, saponification value, iodine value, cetane number, specific gravity, viscosity, cloud point, pour point and calorific value. The Gas Chromatography (GC) analysis of synthesized biodiesel was also performed. Base on ASTM standards, alkali catalyzed transesterification was an efficient method to produce biodiesel form WCO. Results revealed that the waste cooking oils can be converted into biodiesel as an energy source along with environmental pollution reduction.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
