  • Abstract:
  • In the pursuit of sustainable alternatives to fossil-derived fuels, this study investigates the feasibility of using non-edible seed oils from Khaya nyasica, Terminalia phellocarpa, and Baccaurea courtallensis for the production of biodiesel. These plant species, native to tropical regions, yield 72%, 38%, and 23% seed oil respectively. Their oils vary significantly in saturated and unsaturated fatty acid content, making them ideal candidates for compositional blending. In the present investigative approach, the biodiesel properties are optimized by mixing these trio seed oils through the Bio-mix strategy for the synthesis of biodiesel. The data like Saponification value (SV), Iodine value (IV) of seed oil and the various parameters of biodiesel viz., Cetane number (CN), Higher heating value (HHV), Flash point(FP), Cloud point(CP), Viscosity, Pour point(PP) of fatty acid esters of KNSO, TPSO, BCSO and Bio-mix (blend) of three seed oils are assessed empirically. The fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) of optimized Bio-mix oil meets the ASTM and EN meets standards. This work reports that of selected species and their blend are ideal for synthesis of liquid fuel. This strategy nullifies the dependency on one set of traditional feedstocks. Bio-mix:II and Bio-mix:III reported optimized feed stock property for liquid fuel production
