FEASIBILITY STUDY ON BIO DIESEL
EXTRACTION FROM ANIMAL WASTE
USING HOMOGENOUS CATALYST
2. ABSTRACT
Biodiesel plays a vital role as an alternative fuel due to the depletion
of fossil fuel resources. The pure Animal fat oils can not be used as
fuels for diesel engines due to its high viscosity.
To overcome this problem, the Animal fat oils are converted into
biodiesel by performing transesterification reaction.
Technically, biodiesel is the fatty acid alkyl ester made by the
transesterification of animals fat, with short chain alcohols such as
methanol or ethanol.
The unique properties of biodiesel are biodegradability, low toxicity,
low sulphur content, high flammability and high cetane number.
3. Biodiesel is a clean-burning renewable substitute fuel for
conventional petroleum diesel, which is made from animal fats by
a monoalcoholic transesterification process.
Biodiesel production using nanocatalyst is one of the approaches in
the search of alternative fuel. In this present investigation, the
synthesized iron nanoparticles were used as a nanocatalyst for the
production of biodiesel using Pongamia pinnata oil with methanol.
The transesterification reaction for the conversion of triglycerides
into fatty acid methyl esters was carried out at a molar ratio of 3:1
methanol to oil, reaction time of 2 h, stirring speed of 400 rpm at
65°C. The amount of KOH used for this study was 1% (wt/wt).
4. The obtained values of physico-chemical properties are in
accordance with the specifications of biodiesel as per ASTM
D6751 standard.
These findings conclude that the synthesized iron nanoparticles
acted as a catalyst to produce biodiesel and the obtained biodiesel
will be considered as suitable alternatives to the conventional
diesel.
5. INTRODUCTION
The major percentage of energy used in the world today are being
generated from fossil fuels are non-renewable resources that take
millions of years to form and their reserves are being depleted
faster than they are being regenerated.
They are the major contributors and sources of greenhouse gases
air pollution and global warming. Some of the emissions
generated from these fossil fuels are CO, CO2, NOX, SOX, un-
burnt or partially burnt HC and particulate.
The production and use of these fossil fuels are raising
environmental issue is seriously calling for an alternative.
6. LITERATURE REVIEW
Dennis Y.C. Leung et al. has concludes that the most common way to
produce Biodiesel in though base- Catalyzed transesterification. The oil which
has high free fatty acid to base catalyst reacts with free fatty acid with form soap
so the Pretreatment is required for oil. The optimum parameters required for base
transesterification is oil: methanol1:6, temperature50-60ᵒC, catalyst 1.5% for
NaOH.
A. Haiter Lenin et al. has found that based on the performance, emission and
combustion on engine using methyl esters in various parameters in thermal
efficiency, specific fuel consumption, emission carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon on
exhausting. The fuel of B25 can be used in diesel engine without any engine
modifications.

8. Future Work:-
Biodiesel is the alternative fuel for fossil fuel in future.
In case of any difficulties present to buy a diesel the Biodiesel
is the only remedy to overcome these problems. In future many
Biodiesel plants are situated in different parts of the country the
diesel shortage is to been fully fulfilled by Biodiesel. And also
good environmental is formed when using the Biodiesel. And
also very poor emission is formed by using the Biodiesel. So
the Biodiesel is the trusted fuel in nature.
