Biodiesel Production By Alkaline Transesterification Of Mamey Sapote Oil
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Bio- Diesel can also prepared from fruit seed oil to Diesel Engines .Mamey Sapote seeds are easily available and nonedible to all human being. Since most of the biodiesel were derived from edible oils like soybean, sunflower, rapeseed, palm etc. these oils are essentially edible in India and other developing countries and use in biodiesel leads to food crisis. Because of the non-edible oil having high free fatty acid (FFA) content, which is not suitable for normal transesterification process, hence a two-step catalyzed method was adopted to prepare the biodiesel. In the present investigation Mamey Sapote seed oil was used to extract the biodiesel. Therefore, this research mainly concentrates the non-edible oil as a feed stock for biodiesel production to reduce the cost of bio-diesel. The results showed that this bio-fuel can be produced at a yield of 92.48 % with a 0.760% of catalyst, 6 methanol equivalents in excess with respect to oil, at 60°C, and 90 min of reaction time. Biodiesel from Mamey Sapote seed oil is mainly composed of methyl esters of oleic, stearic and palmitic acids. Hence could be considered as a suitable substitute for fossil diesel in unmodified diesel engine applications.
