Synthesis and Characterization of Biodiesel from Animal Fat
Abstract
Biodiesel, an alternate and ecologically acceptable substitute for the conventional fuel, is usually produced from a wide range of edible vegetable oils, which are normally used for human consumption and whose prices are expected to increase in future. In this regard, reliable and low-cost raw materials have increasingly drawn interest for biodiesel production, such as by-products of the meat processing industries or waste animal fats. In present work biodiesel production from waste animal fats was carried out by Transesterification reaction. Animal fats in biodiesel production will cause biodiesel expenditures to be reduced. The present work also focusses on studying properties of bio diesel and performance characterization.Keywords
