“…However, experience in previous research [1] mention that household size and social status always influence household waste. Other findings closely related to ours revealed: the necessity for rigorous public awareness campaign in order to encourage households to properly manage their WCO through recycling for biodiesel production [12] also, access to recycling facilities evidently has most impact on recycling behavior. However, it also has a negative effect on intentions to reduce and reuse waste, a thus far unreported phenomenon.…”

This paper estimated the domestic waste cooking oil (DWCO) generation for the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador. The study also determined how social indicators influence the quantity of waste produced domestically by using Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression. For this effect, a stratified random sampling methodology was used, resulting in the selection of 441 sample households for this study. Results show that the city produces 5.11 grams of DWCO per capita every day also, households with higher number of youngsters between 12 and 18 years old produce more DWCO and social status plays a crucial role in liquid waste generation, giving a negative coefficient for the OLS regression, meaning that households with higher social status produce less of this waste. Finally, this study suggests new insights concerning the generation of domestic waste cooking oil and sets a milestone for future research in the reuse and recycle of this liquid residue.

In this study, biodiesel was produced using waste cooking oil that was discarded as a waste in the environment. The properties of the feedstock were determined using standard ASTM methods. The transesterification process was implemented to extract the biodiesel, and this process was optimized and standardized by selecting three different parameters: molar ratio (methanol:oil), catalyst concentration (KOH) and reaction temperature. The physicochemical properties of the biodiesel so produced were tested and analyzed using gas chromatography. Biodiesel and diesel were mixed in different volumetric ratios, and the exhaust emission characteristics of the blends were determined by testing the blends on a variable compression ratio engine. The study concluded that waste cooking oil has a great potential for waste to energy process. The highest yield of 93.8% was obtained by optimizing the process. Emission characteristics of CO for B50 blend showed a downward trend while NO x emission was found to be greater for blending ratios above 10%. B10 showed the best results pertaining to lower NO x and CO emissions.

“…The discharged of WCO may also lead to the clogging of sewer pipes and blocking drains in the course of time 2 causing flooding or sewer overflows. Presence of WCO in the water system have the capability to change the oxidation process which has detrimental effect on aquatic life by covering the surface of water and preventing oxygen from dissolving 3 . According to a study performed in USA, 40% of the sewerage system blockages are caused by the waste frying oils poured into kitchen sink 4 .…”

Waste cooking oil (WCO) is one of the main sources which creates water pollution and in that way harmful for the environment. It is readily available in different fast-food centers, food processing industries, cafeterias and local restaurants. The proper reuse of WCO helps the society in many ways like additional income to restaurants and fast-food outlets, prevents blockage of drains due to presence of unwanted materials, minimizes water contamination due to toxic materials in WCO and preserves aquatic lives. So for cleaner environment, it can be reutilized as biodiesel after processing, as cooking fuel and also in construction of asphalt pavement. So studies need to be done on the characterization of WCO samples for the determination of quality and suitability of end products. In the present research investigation, twenty samples of WCO were collected from different sources and ten important characteristics like free fatty acids, peroxide value, kinematic viscosity, density, moisture, saponification value etc. have been analysed. Based on results, it is possible to predict the ultimate use of the samples properly.
