Investigating Bio-Diesel Production using Potash from Agricultural Wastes
📄 Project Abstract
The application of potassium hydroxide (KOH) extracts from four different biomass materials: Water hyacinth, Coconut husk, ripe plantain peels and palm frond in the trans-esterification of two vegetable oils; refined rapeseed and crude jatropha oils has been carried out. Potassium hydroxide obtained from the ash of ripe plantain peels recorded the highest biodiesel conversion with both vegetable oils. The highest percentage conversion obtained with rapeseed oil was 71.01% using 1g of KOH extract from ripe plantain ash at reaction temperature and time of 75oC and 4 hours respectively. Under the same reaction conditions, 1g of commercial caustic potash recorded 70.06% conversion of the rapeseed oil at the same reaction conditions. From the optimized batch process, 97.15% conversion was achieved with crude jatropha oil using 1g caustic potash extract from ripe plantain peels ash; at reaction temperature and time of 83oC and 4 hours respectively. Under the same condition, the conversions o...
