A REVIEW ON BIO-DIESEL PRODUCTION FROM WASTE COCKING OIL VIA ACIDS CATALYSIS

Dinesh Nichat, D.B.Shelke

Abstract: Exploring renewable energy sources is the need of present fuel scenario; the petro-fuels are vanishing more rapidly to meet heavy demands of today’s population. The Bio-fuels looks attractive and inviting source in this situation. Bio-diesel as a fuel of this category are more environmental benefits as a cleaner fuel compare to the petrol-diesel. Bio-diesel is the product of the process known as a ‘stratification’ in which Triglycerides from soybean oil reacts with alcohol under action of certain catalysts at specific constant temperature for specific time interval to produce bio-diesel as a result. Bio-diesel can be use in internal-combustion engine as a fuel application solely or blending with petrol-diesel. Lots of benefits of using biodiesel as a fuel it is renewable source, burns cleaner than petrol-diesel and compatible with petrol-diesel. Bio-diesel can be produced through many techniques including acid & base catalysis, enzymatic conversion, solid catalysis, non-catalytic conversion and super-critical methanolysis

Keywords: Biodiesel, Acid Catalyst, Transesterification
