  • Abstract:
  • The esterification of Karanja oil with methanol was used to produce biodiesel from the oil. Biodiesel yields were determined by 1H NMR. Zeolite and Amberlite15, two heterogeneous acid catalysts, were observed to have different effects. Heat treatment of Karanja oil was observed. Dry Amberlyst15 was found to be most active catalyst. Co-solvents had no effect on the esterification reaction. A study was conducted on the leaching effect of dry Amb15. The esterification reaction is sensitive to temperature, with its rate increasing as the temperature rises. The effect of the methanol-to-oil ratio was also examined under a constant volume mixture condition. A non-monotonic behavior was observed, with two peaks appearing at ratios of 3:1 and 60:1. Additional studies are required to understand this phenomenon and improve on the operating conditions for efficient biodiesel production from Karanja oil
