Abstract :
The methanolysis transesterification of
Beniseed oil to biodiesel using acid activated waste cow
bone was carried out. Solvent extraction was used to
extract oil from the seeds using n-hexane and
characterized to determine its physiochemical
properties. The catalyst was synthesized from waste cow
bone by activating it with concentrated phosphoric acid
(H3PO4) at a ratio of 1:4 (w/v) on weight basis. It was
dried in a Memmert oven at 100 oC for 2 hours and
characterized to determine its catalytic properties. The
effects of process parameters on biodiesel yield were
examined. The biodiesel was characterized to determine
its physiochemical properties. The result showed that the
seed yielded 54 % oil. The low acid value and free fatty
acid value of the oil enable it to undergo direct
transesterification without treatment with the acid
activated waste bone. The transesterification of the oil
gave a maximum yield between 75 – 80% and the
process parameters significantly affected the biodiesel
yield. The properties of the biodiesel were within
acceptable standard
