Large quantities of vegetable biowaste are generated at marketplaces, usually in highly populated locations. On the other hand, nearby markets, hotels, and street shops generate much cooking oil waste and dispose of them in the sewage. Environmental remediation is mandatory at these places. Hence, this experimental work concentrated on preparing biodiesel using green plant wastes and cooking oil. Biowaste catalysts were produced from vegetable wastes and biofuel generated from waste cooking oil using biowaste catalysts to support diesel demand and Environmental remediation. Other organic plant wastes such as bagasse, papaya stem, banana peduncle and moringa oleifera are used as heterogeneous catalysts of this research work. Initially, the plant wastes are independently considered for the catalyst for biodiesel production; secondary, all plant wastes are mixed to form a single catalyst and used to prepare the biodiesel. In the maximum biodiesel yield analysis, the calcination temperature, reaction temperature, methanol/oil ratio, catalyst loading and mixing speed were considered to control the biodiesel production. The results reveal that the catalyst loading of 4.5 wt% with mixed plant waste catalyst offered a maximum biodiesel yield of 95%.

In this research, transesterification of rubber seed oil (RSO) with methanol in the presence of MgO/zeolite-A composites with different MgO loads as catalysts was investigated. In addition, the effect of different reaction parameters including oil to methanol ratio, the amount of catalyst, and transesterification time were also investigated. Zeolite-A was prepared from rice husk silica (RHS) and food-grade aluminum foil and confirmed using XRD and SEM/EDS techniques. The MgO/zeolite-A composites with different MgO loads were prepared by impregnating the zeolite with Mg (NO3)2 solution of different concentrations. The composites were then characterized using XRF, XRD, and SEM, and finally applied as a catalyst in transesterification of RSO at varied experimental conditions. The XRF results indicated that the zeolite has been successfully impregnated, and the content of MgO varied depending on the concentration of magnesium nitrate solution used for impregnation process. Zeolite-A and also MgO/zeolite-A composites were confirmed by XRD investigations, supported by SEM analysis with indicated the shape of cubic particle, a characteristic feature of zeolite-A, and rod like structure which is most likely the MgO particle. The results of transesterification experiments revealed the appreciable activities of the composites and the effect of reaction parameters on the conversion of the RSO, with the highest conversion of 89 % achieved using 12.5 % catalyst relative to the mass of RSO, with MgO 4.43 %/zeolite-A catalyst, oil to methanol ratio of 1:10, and a transesterification time of 6.0 h. Analysis of the transesterification products using GC-MS confirmed that fatty acids composing the RSO were converted into corresponding methyl esters.

“…The graph illustrates that the maximum yield is achieved at a 9:1 molar ratio. However, an excessive amount of methanol can impede glycerin separation due to increased solubility, resulting in a decrease in biodiesel yield [53][54][55]. Therefore, the optimal alcohol to oil ratio must be determined.…”

The production of biodiesel from conventional vegetable oils is limited by the high cost and competition with food supply. Therefore, there is a need to explore new and underutilized feedstocks that can provide abundant and low-cost oil for biodiesel production. Livistona jenkinsiana is a palm species that grows in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia. It produces oil-rich fruits that are usually discarded as waste. In this work, biodiesel was produced from Livistona jenkinsiana through transesterification reaction, and the parametric analysis was carried out. The process parameters such as reaction temperature, molar ratio, reaction time, and catalyst amount were studied, and yield (Y) was modelled using response surface methodology (RSM) as a modelling tool in MINITAB@17.1.0 software. A second-order RSM model for biodiesel yield was developed as a function of temperature, catalyst, and the molar ratio, which could predict the biodiesel yield. ANOVA results showed that temperature, catalyst, and molar ratio played an important role in the transesterification process. The optimization result showed that the optimal conditions were attained at a temperature of 61.78 °C, methanol to oil molar ratio 9.25:1, and catalyst concentration of 0.86 wt. %. The highest biodiesel yield predicted was 94.47%. The reaction was carried out at a constant reaction speed of 500 rpm for 1.5 h of reaction time. The physicochemical properties of the produced biodiesel indicate that the biodiesel from Livistona jenkinsiana oil (LJO) is ideal for the production of biodiesel.
