| contents | <p>This research work studied the production and optimization of biodiesel from Jatropha Curcas oil<br>(JCO) using a heterogeneous bi-functional catalyst synthesized from a blend of snail shells and kaolin. The<br>Jatropha curcas oil was mixed with methanol and catalysts to undergo a tranesterification reaction. The<br>characterization of the Jatropha curcas oil (JCO) was done using American Society Testing Methods (ASTM).<br>The heterogeneous catalyst was also characterized using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), the Brunauer-<br>Emmett-Teller (BET), and X-ray diffraction. The transesterification reaction was repeated with varying catalyst<br>weight, oil to methanol ratio, reaction time, and reaction temperature. The optimization of the concurrent<br>esterification and transesterification of Jatropha Curcas oil (JCO) was executed using Taguchi L9 approach, which<br>encompasses the manipulation of four variables, each with three levels, while monitoring two key responses. The<br>biodiesel produced was characterized and compared with biodiesel standards specified by ASTM D6751 and EN<br>14214. The optimal value of the reaction shows a conversion of 91.32% at a methanol to oil ratio of 12:1. The<br>catalyst used was found to be economically viable after being reuse for 5 run without treatment and still produced<br>a significant yield of 75.39%.</p> |
