- “Biodiesel is a renewable fuel, consistituting an alternative to petroleum-based diesel fuel.”1
- “It is non-toxic and biodegradable and has a low emission profile, is better from environmentally sensitive areas.”
Researchers from Sahu Jain College, in Najibabad, Uttar Pradesh, India; have presented an article titled: “Fast, easy ethanolysis of coconut oil for biodiesel production assisted by ultrasonication.”
The researchers from Uttar Pradesh, India, have also noted:
- “Presently, biodiesel is produced mainly is batch reactor.”
- “In this process the required energy is given by heating accompanied by mechanical stirring which has several disadvantages because of time consuming high labour cost.”
- “Being methanol is a toxic chemical; the objective of this work is to produce coconut oil ethyl ester by using ultrasonic irradiation.”
- “The advantages of ethanol are non-toxic domestic all available, having higher carbon atoms which provide higher heat content.”
- “… conditions for biodiesel production is the molar ratio oil to ethanol 1:6, KOH catalyst 0.75wt.% of oil and 7min reaction time.”
- “The reaction time reduced 15-40 times comparing to the conventional batch processes and found 98% biodiesel yield.”
