Castor Oil Conversion To Biodiesel: A Process Simulation Study, Islam M. Al-Akraa, Ahmad M. Mohammad, Yaser M. Asal, Razan Aymen

Chemical Engineering

The aim of this study is to highlights the importance to shift from the use of traditional fossil fuels to biodiesel as a clean energy source. A simulation study has been conducted using ASPEN HYSIS software for the biodiesel production form castor oil. The simulation was run and the properties of the produced biodiesel were highlighted. The optimum conditions resulted in 88 % conversion.
