    1.0 IntroductionBiodiesel is defined as mono-alky esters of long -chain fatty acid. It is a fuel that derived from the vegetable oils, animal fats, which is similar to the diesel fuel except that it is made from the crops. It is produced from domestically grown, renewable sources, such as crop oils or animal fats which are then chemically converted into biodiesel (Habmigren, 2003). Unlike diesel, biodiesel contains no petroleum products and free of sulfur compounds and aromatics (Habmigren, 2003). Until today, it is still the only alternative fuel for motor vehicle. The biodiesel blends have ranged from 2/98% (B2), 20/80% (B20), to 100% (B100) (Hafman, 2003). The reasons biodiesel is a viable alternative to diesel from fossil fuels for trucks and buses are it can reduce the pollution, it can enhance the country's economy, and it is renewable sources and can produce almost same energy as diesel fuels.…

    In order to compare biodiesel to other fuels, its properties were compared to that of other fuels to obtain relevant information regarding the impact of a fuel on the environment, the efficiency of a certain fuel when burned, and the amount of energy produced by the combustion reactions of the fuels. While many different biofuels are capable of being used to power vehicles, factories, and other necessary processes, their sources are being depleted while the…

    Oil Molar Ratios

    Another important factor which affect on the yield of biodiesel is the methanol to oil molar ratio. The four parameters which are used to determine the effect on yield of fatty acid methyl ester are 4:1, 6:1, 7:1and 8:1and other factors remaining constant. The theoretical reaction process which transesterfication can be attained is three moles of alcohol with one mole of triglycerides can give us one mole of fatty acid methyl ester and glyceride. It is obvious that the increase in the molar ratio methanol to oil increases the reaction conversion.…

    Biodiesel fuel is made from natural and renewable resources. It can be manufactured from algae, vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant greases. Fresh soybean oil is most commonly used. In general they are made from fats and oils, which are hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbons are filtered and mixed with an alcohol, such as methanol, and a catalyst, resulting in a chemical reaction whose major products are biodiesel fuel and glycerol.…

    The high cost of bio-diesel, compared to petroleum-based diesel, is a major barrier to its commercialization. It has been reported that 60-90% of bio-diesel cost arises from the cost of the feedstock oil (C.C. Lai et al., 2005). Studies showed the potential of waste-cooking oil (WCO) as a material for biodiesel production (Sulaiman Al-Zuhair, 2008). Therefore, the use of WCO should greatly reduce the cost of bio-diesel. In addition to the choice of lipase employed, factors which make the transesterification process feasible and ready for commercialization are: enzyme modification, the selection of feedstock and alcohol, use of common solvents, pretreatment of the lipase , alcohol to oil molar ratio, water activity/content and reaction temperature. Optimization of these parameters is necessary in order to reduce the cost of biodiesel production. Use of no/low cost waste materials such as the WCO will have double environmental benefits by reducing the environmental pollution potential of the wastes and producing an environmentally friendly fuel.…

    How to Make Biodiesel

    • 3203 Words
    • 12 Pages

    Biodiesel is made from vegetable and animal fats and oils, or triglycerides. Chemically, triglycerides consist of three long-chain fatty acid molecules joined by a glycerine molecule. The biodiesel process uses a catalyst (lye) to break off the glycerine molecule and combine each of the three fatty-acid chains with a molecule of methanol, creating mono-alkyl esters, or Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) -- biodiesel. The glycerine sinks to the bottom and is removed.…

    INTRODUCTION Due to rapidly diminishing reserves of the fossil fuels and increasing effects of pollution from these fuels, there is an urgent need of eco-friendly alternatives to fossil fuels. Many energy fuels are being investigated. The best alternative fuel of significance for the future is biofuel. Biofuels refers to a non-petroleum based fuel obtained from the transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fats. This special type of fuel is mostly produced from bio waste. The worldwide awareness regarding global warming has popularized the use of biofuel. They are highly effective in minimizing the extent of greenhouse gas emission. Owing to the limited availability of fossil fuels, the use of biofuels becomes all the more important. They are renewable and environmentally safe. Non-edible oil seeds of forest origin are a promising option for producing biofuel. Jatropha curcas, the biodiesel plant is a potential source of such non-edible oil seeds. Among the many species, which yield oil as a source…
