In the past decade, biodiesel has been noticed as a reproducible, non-toxic and lucrative fuel. This fuel is in fact the FATTY ACID METHYL ESTER which has been resulted from Trans-esterification of Tri-glyceride. It´s expected that biodiesel will be developed throughout the world with a greater pace. With regards to the importance of biodiesel production, 18 samples of this biofuel have been made out of sunflower oil in three reaction temperatures of 60, 70, 80, C with two catalysts (potassium hydroxide & sodium hydroxide) with different weights of 0.5, 1, 1.5 % with 300 rpm agitation intensity under Alcohol to water ratio of 1:5 in 60 minutes period. the consequences showed that the high quality of this biofuel resulted from the catalyst of potassium hydroxide with weight percentage of 1 in comparison to the other two weight percentages of 0.5 & 1.5.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
