“…Chouhan and Sarma [113] and Sarma et al [110] reported 550 °C as the calcination temperature for the preparation of catalysts from Lemna perpusilla Torrey ash and Musa balbisiana stem ash, respectively, whereas John et al [153] reported the calcination at 800 °C for ginger leaves in the preparation of the catalyst. Fadara et al [154] and Oladipto et al [155] reported calcination temperatures of 400 and 600 °C for the catalyst preparation. Studies were found utilizing water extracts of ashes from plant wastes as nonconventional and green catalysts or solvents in several reactions [156].…”

Agricultural waste-based heterogeneous catalysts are emerging as efficient and green catalysts. The present study explored the agricultural waste-based heterogeneous catalyst utilized in the production of biodiesel. The plant waste is composed of organic compounds and various metals which, on combustion, produces ashes that mainly consist of various metal carbonates and oxides. The most commonly employed approach for the solid catalyst preparation from plant materials is the calcination process, and it is performed at temperatures ranging from 300 to 1200°C. It is known that the temperature employed for calcination plays a vital role in the composition and development of the morphology of the catalyst. The variation in alkalinity, porosity, and, accordingly, the catalytic activity of the catalyst is significantly influenced by the calcination temperature. It was found that the potassium present in the form of oxide and carbonate as the main constituent in such catalysts played a significant role in delivering catalytic efficacy. Therefore, a number of agricultural waste-based catalysts were reported as efficient catalysts. The selection of the catalyst may be one of the important issues for application in large-scale biodiesel production. Thus, the present study was undertaken for the preparation of a rank list among the reported catalysts by following the VIKOR (Višekriterijumsko Kompromisno Rangiranje) multicriterion decision-making approach. In this work, the ranking study was performed considering the reported optimum reaction conditions (ORCs) of biodiesel synthesis reactions. The study was conducted strictly on the basis of the parameters, viz., catalyst concentration ( C 1 ), MTOR ( C 2 ), reaction temperature ( C 3 ), reaction time ( C 4 ), and biodiesel yield ( C 5 ). The parameters are considered good if C 1 , C 2 , C 3 , and C 4 are low or minimum and if C 5 is high or maximum. The catalyst prepared from plantain peel showed the best performance and ranked as the first one followed by Musa paradisiaca peel and cocoa pod husk catalysts which are ranked second. Thus, the VIKOR method can be useful for comparison and ranking purposes if there are a large number of data, and this may be expanded for thorough study by considering more criteria which may give more fruitful results.

“…This process results in the formation of alkyl esters (biodiesel) and glycerol [79]. Numerous researchers have explored various biodiesel production methods and consistently identified transesterification as the most favorable one [80]. Biodiesel produced through this approach exhibits fuel properties that fall within the specifications of EN 14214 and ASTM D6751 standards.…”

There is a critical need for energy diversification due to over depended on fossil fuel and its daunting challenges. These impediments linked with fossil fuels have stirred the search for another energy sources and biodiesel is one of the potential alternatives. Biodiesel is renewable, non-toxic, environmental-friendly and an economically viable choice to solve the diminishing fossil fuels and its harmful environmental effect. It can be made from seeds oil plant, vegetable oils, animal fats, waste oils and algae. Here are various means for the production of the biodiesel oil which comprises; mechanical, chemical/solvent and enzymatic oil extraction methods etc. Report from the open literatures revealed that, all the extraction methods have its own advantages and disadvantages but in all, oil expeller machine which is based on mechanical means of extracting oil from the common wastage seeds oil plant prove to be efficient especially for large scale extraction. Thus, for efficient oil extraction from wastage seeds oil plant, oil expeller machine is appropriate. This research seeks to discuss an improve ways of maximum oil yield with an expeller machine from the wastage seeds oil plant commonly available in our environment.

“…The parameters considered in the modeling of WCO transesteri cation are methanol-to-WCO molar ratio, temperature, time, and catalyst amount. The chosen parameters were based on our previous studies Fadara et al, 2021). The different levels of each parameter used in this study are methanol-to-WCO molar ratio (6:1, 9:1 and 12:1), reaction temperature (45, 55 and 65 o C), reaction time (50, 70 and 90 min) and catalyst loading (0.5, 1.5 and 2.5 wt.%).…”

Economical feedstocks such as agricultural wastes, food wastes, and waste cooking oil were used for biodiesel production to expand their application. Thus, a solid base catalyst was synthesized from a mixture of ripe and unripe plantain peels at a calcination temperature of 500 oC for 4 h. The catalyst was characterized using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. The waste cooking oil (WCO) used in this study was first pretreated with 3% (v/v) of H2SO4 via esterification reaction due to its high acid value. The esterified WCO was converted to biodiesel via transesterification reaction, and the process was then modeled and optimized using Taguchi L9 orthogonal array design method considering reaction temperature, reaction time, catalyst amount, and methanol/WCO molar ratio as the input variables. Based on the results, the synthesized catalyst predominantly contained potassium phases with 45.16 wt.%. The morphology of the catalyst revealed a crystalline mesoporous nanocomposite. At the end of WCO esterification, the acidity of the oil decreased from 5 to 1 mg KOH/g. The optimal conditions established for the transesterification process were catalyst amount of 0.5 wt.%, methanol/WCO molar ratio of 6:1, reaction temperature of 45 oC, and reaction time of 45 min with a corresponding biodiesel yield of 97.96 wt.%. The quality of the biodiesel produced satisfied the specifications (ASTM D6751 and EN 14241) recommended for biodiesel fuels. Hence, a blend of ripe and unripe plantain peels could serve as an efficient heterogeneous base catalyst in producing biodiesel from WCO.
