MODELLING THE KINETICS OF ACID-BASE CATALYSIS FOR BIODIESEL PRODUCTION FROM WASTE UBE FRUIT OIL

Vol/Issue: Volume 1, Issue 2  •  Pages: 1-10  •  Published: 30 Nov 2016

The production of biodiesel from waste ube oil was carried out through a two step process of esterification and transesterification reaction. The kinetics of the esterification of free fatty acid (FFA) in the waste ube oil with methanol, in the presence of Sulphuric acid at concentration of 10wt% relative to free fat…

Production of Biodiesel from Waste Ube Fruit Oil Using Acid-Base Catalysis

Vol/Issue: Volume 1, Issue 2  •  Pages: 1-10  •  Published: 30 Nov 2016

A two step process consisting of esterification and transesterification was developed to produce biodiesel from crude waste ube fruit oil. The oil was extracted from the waste ube pulp using solvent extraction process. The free fatty acids (FFA) in the oil were converted to methyl esters in the pre-esterification ste…
