Optimization and Kinetics Studies of Biodiesel Synthesis from Jatropha Curcas Oil Under the Application of Eco-Friendly Microwave Heating Technique: An Environmentally Benign and Sustainable Bio-Waste Management Approach
Abstract:This study attempts to synthesize biodiesel as a green liquid fuel from Jatropha curcas oil utilizing waste eggshell (WES) as an effective and excellent sustainable source of the heterogeneous catalyst under the application of environmental benign microwave heating technique. After preparing the CaO-based catalyst, diverse characterization techniques such as XRD, EDS, SEM, FITR, and BET were employed for measurements. Under different optimized conditions, a considerable high biodiesel yield of 91.7% was attain… Show more
