“…This result is higher than 79% reported by Ibeto et al [17] on A. hypogea Oil but similar to 88% reported by Galadima et al [18], the yield is also higher than the report of 64.20% on the African Pear by Ogunsuyi [4]. Ishola et al had a yield of 62.5% from palm oil feedstock which is also lower [19] [17,18,20].…”

This study examines the synthesis of biodiesel from African pear oil using catalyst assisted transesterification (One-step) process. The D. edulis used in this study were obtained from Port Harcourt City Local Government Area of Rivers State, Nigeria. The pulp oil was extracted and subjected to physicochemical analysis and gas chromatography was used to check the free fatty acid content. The yield of the oil was 47% which is highly significant. Gas-chromatographic analysis of the oil extract showed free fatty acid content as palmitic acid 26.41%, stearic acid 24.56%, oleic acid 2.20% and others 46.83% for the pulp. The physicochemical parameter of synthesized oil revealed density; 0.98 ± 6.01 mg/dm 3 , saponification number; 199.16 ± 6.09 mgKOH/g, acid number; 1.85 ± 0.08 mgKOH/g, iodine number; 74.98 ± 2.83 wijs, and peroxide value; 11.80 ± 0.29 mEq/kg. The African pear showed almost same level of saturation and unsaturation. Biodiesel yield of the pulp oil attained optimum yield of 87% at the oil/methanol molar ratio of 1:6 and temperature of 60°C. The properties of the produced biodiesel were specific gravity 0.89 ± 0.12, kinematic viscosity was 2.80 ± 0.14 mm 2 /s, water and sediment 0.020 ± 0.0021%, the acid number was 0.15 ± 0.020 mgKOH/g, cetane number 63, pour point -13°C, flash point 137°C and sulphur contents 0.02%m/m. These values were within standards for petrodiesel. It therefore shows that the D. edulis oil could serve as a good source of feedstock for biodiesel synthesis.

“…In this process, a "Specific Gravity Bottle" was used to hold a known volume of liquid, i.e., water at a specified temperature. The bottle was weighed, filled with the ethanol whose specific gravity was to be found, and reweighed again [19]. Moisture content in the dry oil palm frond was calculated to be 8.98%, which is low, thus the low moisture content in the oil palm frond has made it suitable for use as a substrate in fermentation.…”

Environmental issues and the desire to be less dependent on fossil fuel have intensified research efforts towards the production of biofuels since they are a safe and clean alternatives to fossil fuels. However, the cost of carbohydrate raw materials has become a limiting factor for large-scale production, hence the need to source for low cost feedstock. This study analyzed the processes and optimization involved in the production of bioethanol from oil palm fronds from Okada, Edo State, Nigeria, as an alternative source of energy. In this study, solid-state fermentation was carried out for the production of fermentable sugars from oil palm fronds inoculated with local isolate Aspergillus niger, the results from this analysis show that the pretreatment of oil palm frond substrate using Aspergillus niger was effective, The process was effectively optimized within the confines of the following parameters; temperature X3 (36-42oC), pH, X2 (5.1-5.7), inoculum, X4(4-22) and fermentation time X1 (0-36hr), an optimum Ethanol yield Y, of 110% was obtained.

Studi perbandingan aktivitas katalitik dari katalis CaO yang disintesis dari cangkang telur ayam dengan aktivator asam dan basa telah dipelajari. Aktivasi dengan basa dilakukan dengan metode impregnasi yaitu dengan memasukkan CaO kedalam larutan KOH. Aktivasi asam dilakukan dengan membuat komposit CaO dan karbon serta disulfonasi dengan asam sulfat pekat. Katalis CaO yang dihasilkan diaplikasikan dalam produksi biodisel dari minyak jelantah. Aktivitas katalitik ditentukan melalui uji produk biodisel yang dihasilkan. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa katalis yang dimodifikasi melalui impregnasi basa memiliki aktivitas katalitik yang tinggi dalam mengkonversi minyak jelantah menjadi biodisel. Meskipun katalis CaO tanpa modifikasi memiliki nilai densitas, laju alir dan bilangan asam lebih baik dari CaO-A dan CaO-A/CS, kedua katalis ini masih bisa dioptimasi dalam preparasi dan aplikasinya sebagai katalis dalam produksi biodisel.
