| 1 | Biodiesel production Parinarium macrophylum seed oil using sodium hydroxide as homogenous catalyst. Nigerian Journal of Tropical Engineering |
The optimization of the biodiesel production process parameters were done experimentally for the characterize seed oil extracted using the calcined calcium oxide catalyst obtained from the cow bone. The optimized parameters gave methanol to oil ratio (6:1), temperature (55 0C), catalyst concentration (1:8 wt%), reaction time (60 min) and agitation speed (350 rpm). The biodiesel yield at these optimize parameters are (75 – 85%). The properties of the produced biodiesel were within the recommended biodiesel standards (ASTM 6751). The cloud point (-10.5 0C) of the produced biodiesel can be used in cold temperature region without blending. | Otori A A., Jimoh A A., Azeez S O., Adebayo Z F., Abdulsalam Z A | 15 | Journal | 2021-01-12 | https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=oyiukwAAAAJ&citation_for_view=oy-iukwAAAAJ:4TOpqqG69KYC. | |
