The present work was aimed at assessing the possible use of ripe plantain fruit peel as a green-base catalyst in synthesizing Azadirachta indica oil methyl esters (AIOME). The free fatty acid content of the oil (5.81 wt %) was initially reduced to 0.90 wt % using methanol: oil at 2.19 v/v, Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 at 6 wt %, time of 15 min and temperature of 65 • C. The pretreated oil was converted to AIOME in a transesterification process with calcined ripe plantain peel ash (CRPPA) at 700 • C as catalyst. The process was modeled by artificial neural network and optimized using genetic algorithm. The effectiveness of the developed CRPPA is ascribable to its high K content and microstructural transformation. The reliability of the model obtained was confirmed with a high coefficient of determination (R 2 ) of 0.996 and a low mean relative percentage deviation (MRPD) of 8.10%. The best operating variables combination for the process was methanol:oil of 0.73 v/v, CRPPA of 0.65 wt % and time of 57 min while the temperature was kept constant at 65 • C with a corresponding AIOME yield of 99.2 wt %. The results of this work demonstrated the potentials of ripe plantain peels and neem oil as cheap feedstocks for biodiesel production.

“…Meanwhile, the environment turns to be a major concern with the concepts of sustainable development. Biodiesel is considered to be an alternative liquid fuel owing to the various advantages such as renewable, non-flammable, non-toxic, biodegradability and less emission of harmful gases such as sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc 4 .…”

“…Such a treatment process can lead to the formation of various types of zeolites under different reaction conditions such as varying temperature, alkaline reagent concentration, reaction time, and solution/fly ash ratio [16]. Zeolites have shown promising results as catalysts in the transesterification of refined and waste oils [10][11][12][18][19][20]. However, a few studies have reported the chemical kinetics of transesterification with zeolite as a catalyst.…”

A kinetic study evaluating heterogeneous transesterification of soybean oil was performed using zeolite from coal fly ash as a catalyst, under reaction conditions with different temperatures and reaction times. The catalyst characterization revealed that zeolite type hydro-sodalite was synthesized and consists of mesoporous agglomerates particles with a specific surface area of 7.53 m² g -1 and a basic catalytic character. The conversion rate of soybean oil to its methyl esters was found to increase with an increase in temperature. An ester yield of 92.5% was the highest methyl ester achieved at 65°C and at a 12:1 methanol-to-oil molar ratio. The reaction followed pseudo-first order kinetics with a calculated activation energy (E a ) of 27.23 kJ mol -1 .
