Abstract

The main purpose of this project is to reduce the usage of fossil fuel in our day to day life by replacing the alternative fuels. The biodiesel is the one of the promising fuel that is being used in diesel base engine as substitute to the conventional diesel. It is the fuel obtained by the trans- esterification reaction of crude oil extracted from various edible and non-edible sources. These sources include vegetable oils, animal fats, and renewable sources of plants namely palm, coconut, sesame, corn, Fever nut seed, olive, sunflower, soybean, peanut etc. Cooked oil is used as raw material for the preparation of the Bio-Diesel. One of the major reason for selecting cooked oil as raw material is, disposal of cooked oil is challenging task and it also impacts on environment. The cooked oil is converted into the usable Bio-Diesel. The cooked oil is filtered and mixed with Sodium hydroxide and Methanol to form an esterification reaction and gives a Bio-Diesel. The physical properties of prepared Bio-Diesel is tested in laboratory.
