“…After literature survey and taking into consideration the industrial application of biodiesel production using CKD as a catalyst, three independent factors were selected. These factors are x 1 : time (2-6 h), x 2 : methanol to oil molar ratio (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)) and x 3 : catalyst loading (2-5 wt. %).…”

According to the current consumption of world fossil‐based oil, coal and natural gas used to produce energy, worldwide reserves of these fuels will be depleted in less than 10 decades. Therefore, new renewable energy sources have to be developed to overcome this problem. Biodiesel is one of these new sources; it is composed of methyl or ethyl esters produced from vegetable oil or animal fats and possesses fuel properties similar to diesel fuel. This paper presents a study of factors affecting biodiesel production using cement kiln dust (CKD), as heterogeneous catalyst, and determination of the optimum reaction conditions. This was achieved by using the factorial design and response surface methodology in conjunction with steepest ascent method in the range of this study. The optimum conditions were found to be: A reaction time of about 6 h, catalyst loading of 2% of oil mass and methanol to oil molar ratio of 15:1. Fixed mixing speed of 800 rpm and constant temperature of 65 °C were used in all experiments. After performing the optimization process, CKD leachability was studied in order to determine its stability and reusability. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Based on the peak oil theory, there will be uninterrupted growth between supply and demand resulting in less supply of oil than the demand. [1] Since the consumption of edible oil is higher in highly populated countries like India, the nonedible oils can be used as a source for production of biodiesel.…”

Among all alternate fuel sources available, the biodiesel of Jatropha curcas appears to be a potential fuel as it widely exists in Asia. The Jatropha methyl ester (JME) is produced by transesterification process. In the transesterification process, alkyl group of ester exchanges with that of an alcohol. This work focuses on optimizing various parameters like quantities of Methanol, KOH and stirrer speed, which influence high JME yield.Based on L 9 orthogonal array, experiments are conducted by using Taguchi technique.All the nine combinations of L 9 orthogonal array are experimentally done for extraction of JME and then it is used for analysis in Taguchi technique. The analysis of maximum yield is done on the basis of "larger is better" Signal to Noise Ratio (S/N Ratio). The best combination in the L9 orthogonal array is found to be methanol (110 ml), KOH (1.306 gm) and stirrer speed (1200 rpm). The influence of methanol, KOH and stirrer speed on the yield is found by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Based on the results of ANOVA, it Downloaded by [University of Nebraska, Lincoln] at 08:45 05 October 2015 2 is found that the influence of Methanol, KOH and Stirrer speed on the yield are obtained as 70.10%, 20.35% and 5.78% respectively.

“…Recently, an increase in energy consumption causes a steady depletion of conventional petrol-diesel reserves. According to this theory, the higher demand for oil will require its exceeded the supplies, (Fusco, 2006;Ashnani et al, 2014;Datta and Mandal, 2014;Ullah et al, 2015). To fill this gap, it is significant to investigate the potential of appropriate feedstock like S. feotida as non-edible seed oil production which must be increased significantly if biodiesel possesses the potential impact to contribute in solving energy crises.…”

This study examined the potential of nanocatalyst CuO-CeO 2 and Fe 2 O 3 for efficient conversion of Sterculia foetida seed Oil into biodiesel. S. foetida contains 40% oil content and low free fatty acid value (0.18 mg KOH/g). The synthesized nanocatalyst was characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) techniques. The maximum conversion was achieved (92% yield) using CuO-CeO 2 at 0.25% catalyst loading. The optimized reaction was carried out by experimental variables included molar ratio (1:9), temperature (70 • C), reaction time (3 h) and stirring rate (600 rpm) using reflux transesterification method. The XRD results showed the size of crystals with order 54.4 nm for CuO-CeO 2 and 31.3 nm for Fe 2 O 3. The SEM images of CuO-CeO 2 showed spherical structure having an average particle size of 32.3 nm. SEM images of Fe 2 O 3 showed the size ranges from 46.27 to 28.76 nm having regular morphology, including spherical shape. The FT-IR analysis of this nanocatalyst also reinforced the results of this study. Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirmed the efficient conversion of S. foetida seed oil into biodiesel using prepared nanocatalysts. The prepared nanocatalysts are cheaper, readily available and can be used for industrial scale biofuel production assembly, making it economically feasible and more cost effective.
