Abstract


In this study, the Production of Biodiesel from Waste Vegetable Oil using Chicken Eggshell Waste as Heterogeneous Catalyst was investigated. The eggshells were calcined for 5hr at 900oC. The catalyst derived from eggshells after calcination was characterized by Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The XRF results revealed that the catalyst contained 95.558% of CaO, the SEM image showed the catalyst morphology and the FTIR show peaks signifying the presence of certain functional groups such as the OH group. The optimum biodiesel yield obtained was 94.58% under the following optimum process conditions: methanol to oil molar ratio of 14:1, catalyst concentration of 5wt. %, reaction temperature of 600C and reaction time of 100mins. Physiochemical properties of the biodiesel obtained were within the ASTM standards for biodiesel. Hence, heterogeneous catalyst obtained from eggshells wastes can be used for transesterification.
