Optimization of Biodiesel from Coconut (Cocos Nucifera) Seed Oil

Description

Download Optimization of Biodiesel from Coconut (Cocos Nucifera) Seed Oil. Pure and Applied Chemistry students who are writing their projects can get this material to aid their research work.

Abstract

Coconut seeds were investigated for its use as biodiesel feedstock. Oil was extracted from coconut seeds using soxhlet extraction method where 67.2% yield of oil was obtained.

Biodiesel synthesis was developed and optimized using Box-Behnken design in Response Surface Methodology to study the effect of experimental variables such as methanol to oil ratio, catalyst concentration, reaction temperature and reaction time on the extracted oil from coconut seeds.

The model shows optimum conditions of biodiesel yield of 79% were found at 6:1 alcohol/oil ratio, 1% catalyst concentration (KOH), reaction temperature of 650C and a reaction time of 40 min. respectively.

Introduction

The replacement of mineral fuel by biodiesel is one of the effective ways of solving the problem of saving and effective usage of energetic resources. Biodiesel is becoming an increasingly acceptable alternative to fossil diesel because of the narrowing gap between worldwide oil production and consumption.

Also, Nigeria’s vegetation and rainfall regime support agrarian activities that can produce feedstock for biofuel production. Sustainable biofuel production will create more jobs and stimulate related industries thus improving the socioeconomic industries of the country (Itodo et al., 2010).
