INTRODUCTIONBiodiesel produced from Used Vegetable Oil is environment friendly.

Shops selling fritters run successful business.

Handles a local problem of Waste Management.

Processing of Used Vegetable Oil is slightly different from Refined Oil.

Production procedure uses Base Catalyst such as NaOH.

No work has been reported on Biodiesel production from used vegetable oil collected from shops selling fritters in Kolkata.

2

To produce biodiesel from used vegetable oil collected from shops selling fritters in Kolkata. Optimizing the process parameters like temperature, oil to alcohol ratio, catalyst concentration and reaction time.

To obtain maximum yield of biodiesel.

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE

FILTRATION OF FEEDSTOCK

MIXING OF METHANOL AND NAOH

TRANSESTERIFICATION REACTION

7

SEPERATION OF PHASES WASHING OF BIODIESEL

8

STIRRING RATE: 1000rpm, REACTION TEMPERATURE= 55°C, REACTION TIME= 1.5 hours

MAXIMUM YIELD WAS OBTAINED WITH ALCOHOL:OIL RATIO=15:1

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONFrom Table 4: Amount of Methanol used, the Yield of biodiesel increases.

Reaction temperature: 55°C, Catalyst Concentration: 0.69%

Results conclude that transesterification improves the properties of oil and brings them close to the properties of diesel.

11

CONCLUSION

Used vegetable oil can be used for production of Biodiesel.

Fuel properties of biodiesel are comparable to that of diesel.

The cost of production can be reduced if low cost feedstock.

Maximum yield of biodiesel prepared from used vegetable oil obtained was 94%.
