“…The perfect straight line obtained indicated that the models factor and the predicted values are in agreement with each other. Again, to check for the model accuracy, R 2 , RSME and ADD of RSM and ANN were determined [10] . The results obtained showed that both optimization tools certified good predictions to be attained due to the value of R 2 of 99.67% for RSM and 99.94% for ANN, respectively.…”

In 2015, the Worldatlas recorded 50 countries whose source of income is fossil fuel and its derivatives. Surprisingly, these countries solely depend on this source of energy up to 100% (Omar, Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia) because of technology improvement. It's so sadden that apart from its adverse effect on the economics of the countries, fossil fuels harmful effects on the universe cannot be overlooked. Meanwhile, the use of renewable energy as a replacement for fossil fuel and its derivatives are faced by the high oil price, high cost of investment for alternative energy, and unfathomed electricity prices. This research work evaluates desirability of making use of alternative source of energy sources by making use of biomass oil over the use of fossil fuel and its derivatives for electricity generation.Lucky nut is an agricultural non edible seed that was employed as raw material for biofuel production. The non-edible oil was extracted from the seeds and the oil was further converted to Lucky nut biofuel via a heterogeneous based catalyst produced from calcinated pearl spar. For modelling and optimization, design expert coupled with genetic algorithms were used to generate experimental designs so as to correlate the variable factors considered for production.The extraction of Lucky nut seed revealed the optimum production yield of 50.80% (v/v) and the oil is highly unsaturated. Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrophotometer analyses and scanning electron microscope (SEM) of the calcined catalyst obtained from pearl spar showed the major component found in the pearl spar was K with relative abundance of 58.48%, which favoured the yield of Lucky nut biodiesel (91.00% (v/v)). Based on predicted values, the optimum validated Lucky nut biodiesel by RSMED and ANNED were 89.68% (v/v) and 92.87% (v/v), respectively. Produced properties of biofuel conformed to the biofuel standard.The study concluded that Lucky nut seed is a good source of oil, and its transformation to alternative fuel via a using calcined catalyst proved its fitness as a replacement for fossil fuel.

Naturally, biodiesel synthesized from highly viscous and high-density vegetable oil is usually unsuitable as fuel in the internal combustion engine. However, mixing/blending of two or more oils as a feedstock for biodiesel production could produce a low viscous fuel suitable for the engine. This study produced a novel heterogeneous base catalyst from waste wood ash (WWA) and applied it to synthesis of biodiesel from Annona muricata and Calophyllum inophyllum oilseed blend. The production route was via a two-step process due to the high free fatty acid of the blended oil. Process optimization of the transesterification step was carried out via response surface methodology (RSM). The strength of the developed catalyst was tested through catalyst regeneration and recyclability. The quality of the biodiesel was compared with biodiesel recommended standard. Waste wood ash contained a high percentage of calcium carbonate Blended oil produced oil of low viscosity Two-step production route was used for biodiesel synthesis Process optimization via hybrid design produced optimum biodiesel yield.

“…), the second generation biodiesel feedstocks, which make use of non-edible vegetable oil and animal fat (Jatropha curcus oil, pongamia pinnata oil, waste cooking oil, yellow oleander oil, cotton oil, grease, tallow, rapeseed, castor oil, karanje oil, neem oil, fish fat, pig fat, rubber seed oil, etc. ), and the third generation biodiesel feedstocks, which involve the use of microalgae, algae, fungi, bacteria, latexes [5,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Nevertheless, exploiting firstgeneration biodiesel feedstock leads to a major problem especially in the present world of food shortage [16].…”
