Studies on biodiesel production from waste cooking oil by using homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts

Abstract

newline Biodiesel is an alternative source to make renewable energies The oil from seeds can be converted to a fuel commonly referred to as Biodiesel No engine modifications are required to use biodiesel in place of petroleum based diesel Biodiesel can be mixed with petroleum based diesel in any proportion This interest is based on a number of properties of biodiesel including the fact that it is produced from a renewable domestic source its newlinebiodegradability and its potential to reduce exhaust emissions The climate change is presently an important element of energy use and development Biodiesel is considered climate neutral because all the carbon dioxide released during consumption had been sequestered out of the atmosphere during crop growth Generally Biodiesel can be processed into various methods and in that transesterification is an effective way to produce biodiesel from plants derived oils It is a reaction between oil and alcohol to newlineproduce Fatty Acid Methyl Ester with byproduct of glycerol and the FAME is called as a Biodiesel newline
