Studies on production of biodiesel and Biofuel additives from adenanthera Pavonina using heterogeneous catalyst

Abstract

Efforts are being made throughout the World to shrink the utilization newlineof liquid petroleum fuels everywhere is possible Biodiesel is recently gaining newlineprominence as an alternative for petroleum based diesel essentially due to newlineenvironmental considerations and depletion of essential resources like newlinepetroleum and coal According to Indian circumstances the requirement of newlinepetroleum diesel is increasing day by day hence there is a need to find out an newlineappropriate solution Under Indian situation only such plants can be considered newlinefor biodiesel which produce non edible oil in considerable capacity and can be newlinegrown in large scale on non cropped subsidiary lands and waste lands newlineConversely the present utilization of non edible oilseeds is very newlineStumpy Biodiesel has become more attractive in recent times because of the newlinefact that it is made from renewable resources Even though short term tests newlineusing neat vegetable oil showed promising results longer tests led to injector newlinecoking more engine deposits ring sticking and thickening of the engine newlinelubricant These experiences led to the use of modified vegetable oil as a fuel newlineAlthough there are numerous ways and actions to translate vegetable oil into newlinefuel like biodiesel the transesterification process was found to be the most newlineviable process newline newline
