Abstract |
|
Chicken fat feedstock was used for the production of biodiesel in a two-step transesterification process due to its high free fatty acid (FFA) of 4.16%.The first step in the process called esterification. The transesterification reaction is the second step and was carried out using potassium hydroxide as catalyst with methanol. The effect of various process parameters such as reaction temperature, time and catalyst concentration on biodiesel production were investigated. Properties like density, specific gravity, kinematic viscosity, cloud point, pour point, flash point, cetane number, iodine value and saponification value were determined. These values compared favorably with ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards. Hence, chicken fat has the potential for the production of biodiesel. |
