Diesel versus Biodiesel
Diesel• Petroleum product (Petra =
rock; oleum = oil)• Made from crude oil which
takes millions of years to form
• Non-renewable resource
Biodiesel• Can be made from vegetable
oils and animal fats• Most commonly made from
soybean and canola oil, vegetable crops that can be grown annually
• Can be made from waste oils and greases (from fryers of restaurants and factories)
• Renewable resource

How is biodiesel made?
• Primary source of biodiesel is vegetable oil
• Most plant oils and animal fats are triglycerides

How is biodiesel made? continued
• Reaction of transesterification
Base catalyst is a strong base potassium hydroxide which is reacted to methanol to form methoxide.
Other name: methyl alcohol

How is biodiesel made? continued• Heat is also necessary to speed up the reaction• The fatty acid tails are removed from the glycerol
in the oils• They are converted into esters (biodiesel)

Lab Objectives
• Perform a transesterification on a triglyceride (oil) to separate glycerol and fatty acids.
• Use a two phase process to increase conversion of vegetable oil to biodiesel
• Observe the differences in burning properties between biodiesel and vegetable oil.

Making crude biodiesel – two phase process
• Methoxide preparation: mixing methanol with potassium hydroxide (steps 1 to 7)
• Phase 1 transesterification: react the oil with methoxide while heating to produce biodiesel esters and glycerol (steps 8 to 16)
• Phase 2 transesterification: convert any remaining triglycerides (oil) into biodiesel (steps 17 to 21)

Pre-lab: Procedure reading comprehension
• While reading the procedures 1 to 21:– Put a box around amounts/ grams or volumes/ml of
chemicals. – Underline action verbs/phrase– Put a circle around times and temperature.– Draw the safety triangle symbol whenever
there is safety issue.Example: 1. using an electronic balance, weigh out 0.6 g of potassium hydroxide. Continue shaking in 60 seconds increments. Heat the oil to 55-60°C.
