Impacts Of Alcohol Type, Ratio And Stirring Time On The Biodiesel Production From Waste Canola Oil, Amru Bin Nasrulhaq Boyce Jan 2010

Impacts Of Alcohol Type, Ratio And Stirring Time On The Biodiesel Production From Waste Canola Oil, Amru Bin Nasrulhaq Boyce

Amru Bin Nasrulhaq Boyce

The use of alternative fuels in order to reduce the environmental impacts of diesel emissions has been extensively investigated. Trends in the regional use of biomass-derived fuels, such as alcohols, biodiesel and agricultural residues as a proposed control initiative against elevated carbon monoxide levels in urban areas have expanded to a global scale. Waste cooking oil is considered as the most suitable material due to its readily-availability and cost-effectiveness. In this study, the transesterification of waste canola cooking oil was carried out using lower alcohol to oil molar ratios to study its feasibility. Some important variables such as volumetric ratio, …


Biodiesel Production From Waste Soybean Oil Biomass As Renewable Energy And Environmental Recycled Process, Amru Bin Nasrulhaq Boyce Jan 2010

Biodiesel Production From Waste Soybean Oil Biomass As Renewable Energy And Environmental Recycled Process, Amru Bin Nasrulhaq Boyce

Amru Bin Nasrulhaq Boyce

Alternative fuel is currently an important issue all over the world due to the efforts on reducing global warming which is contributed by the combustion of petroleum or petrol diesel. Biodiesel is non-toxic, biodegradable, produced from renewable sources and contributes a minimal amount of net green house gases, such as CO(2), SO(2) and NO emissions to the atmosphere. The study was carried out to produce biodiesel from waste/recycled oils to reduce the cost of biodiesel, waste and pollution. Some important variables such as volumetric ratio, types of reactants and catalytic activities were selected to obtain a high quality biodiesel fuel …
