Abstract

In the present work, castor bio-diesel (C.B.D)fuel of raw castor oil (Ricinus CommunisL.) was synthesized in the presence of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as a catalyst. The influence of catalyst concentration on the yield of castor bio-diesel Fuel was studied. Therefore, different physical properties of bio-diesel could be termed as Caster Bio Diesel (C.B.D) was measured according to American Society of Testing Material (ASTM). Also, the chemical composition of bio diesel was determined by using Gas Chromatography, Mass spectrum (GC-MS) and the functional groups using Infra-Red spectrum (IR). Thus, the main conclusion was drived from both physical and chemical investigations that these synthesized bio-diesel could be used as alternative of diesel.
