Abstract

Abstract: This research work deals with production of biodiesel from tallow waste through the transesterification process by miniature reactor with heterogeneous catalyst. The production of biodiesel and biomass are solid waste removing process from odor environment. Now a days the biodiesel extraction from the various seeds and animal wastes are in progress to balance the fossil fuels demands. The heterogeneous catalyst are diluted sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) with Methanol (CH3OH) as an alcohol used in transesterification reaction. In biodiesel production experimental and optimized process parameters are rated temperature at 600C, reaction time 90 mins and agitation speed 400 rpm. The functionality process parameters are 6.5:1 molar ratio, 2.5 wt% catalyst concentration. Finally the Tallow biodiesel has been yielded 62% with (NaOH) catalyst and 10% higher than potassium hydroxide (KOH) (grade-1) and also physicochemical properties are studied and compared as per the ASTM standards.
