Experimental Investigation on Biofuel Extraction from Silk Cotton seed Oil and Its Characterization

Abstract

Recently, most of the biodiesel were made from edible oils fuels associate in having an alkalic catalyst. Biodiesel outlined because of the mono-alkyl esters of vegetable. Biodiesel is made by Trans esterifying the oil or fat with associate in having alcohol (methanol/ethanol) beneath gentle conditions within the presence of a base catalyst. Within the gift study, high free carboxylic acid (14.71 percentages) white silk-cotton tree seed oil was used as a supply for biodiesel production. The Transesterification method is developed to convert the high FFA oils to its mono-esters. To reduce the definite quantity of the oil, 2 mg KOH/g of oil victimization the acid catalyst (H2SO4) and fuel is used. The alkalic catalyzed Tran’ esterification method converts the merchandise of the primary step to its mono-esters and alcohol. The yield of alkyl radical esters from white silk-cotton tree oil beneath the optimum condition was 92-93 percentages. The necessary properties of biodiesel like density, flash point, fire point and cetane number are noted and compared therewith of diesel. The values obtained from the white silk-cotton tree methyl organic compound is closely matched with the values of standard diesel and might be utilized in the prevailing diesel motor with none modification. This study supports the biodiesel production from non-edible Ceiba pentandra seed oil as a possible difference to the fuel.
