- Description
- Interest in Biodiesel production has grown over the years due to concerns related to the environment, and the solutions include deriving energy from waste as the replacement for diesel, a petroleum-derived fuel. Biodiesel has been accepted as a "green fuel" as it is a renewable, non-toxic, safe and biodegradable energy material. The utilisation of waste cooking oil (WCO) by converting it into biodiesel is one of the promising alternatives to diesel. An attempt to optimise the biodiesel production from WCO (a waste material) has been made via this study. The process adopted was Trans-esterification of pretreated WCO, and the optimization of biodiesel production was carried out by Box-Behnken method using a response surface methodology. The variations between the analytical and experimental results were within acceptable limits. The response surface methodology resulted in an optimum yield of 96.88% (analytical), which was validated through an experiment within an acceptable error of 0.58%. 2021,International Journal Of Renewable Energy Research.All rights reserved.
