Abstract

In this study, biodiesel was produced from strychnos innocua Del. seed oil through transesterification using heterogeneous catalyst. Optimization of biodiesel production from the seed oil was carried out by Taguchi method and design based on four transesterification variables (methanol/oil ratio, catalyst amount, reaction temperature and reaction time). Optimum biodiesel yield of 85.0% was obtained at reaction conditions of 9:1 methanol to oil ratio, 60oC reaction temperature, 0.2g catalyst amount and 90 minutes reaction time. The significance of the process variables and their combined effects on the transesterification efficiency were established through full quadratic model. GC-MS was used to determine the methyl esters profile of the biodiesel results and indicated the presence of 9-hexadecenoic acid methyl ester with hexadecanoic acid methyl esters as the dominant fatty acid methyl esters. Most of the observed characteristics of the biodiesel produced were in conformity with ASTM standards.
