The present study is intended to consider aspects related to the production of biodiesel from neem oil. This report deals with biodiesel obtained from neem oil which was produced using Acid-base catalyst methods. The optimum condition to achieve yield of biodiesel was at a temperature of 600C and molar ratio of neem oil and methanol 1:6. From the result obtained it was shown that the produced biodiesel was within the recommended standards of biodiesel as shown, density (O.896g), ASTM value (0.88g), Flash point (110-160), ASTM value (100-1700C), iodine (81-23) ASTM value (120). The properties of biodiesel produced include viscosity (5.30cst), iodine value (81-23), density (0.896g), and sulfur content (0.0038). The properties of biodiesel compared favourable with the recommendation by the American Standard Testing Method. Hence use of non-edible oil having high free fatty acid content which was converted into biodiesel using acid-base catalyst method was achieved. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Science Technology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Design and construction of cell phone charger»Bacteriological qualities of food thickener deuterium microcarpum (ofor) and brachystegia eurcycoma (achi) sold in Owerri main market»Physiochemical assessment of soil samples from Nwambe Reserve Forest, Ndubia Igagu Izzi L.G.A, Ebonyi State.»Obstacle detection robot with ultrasonic sensor»Antitrypanosomal activity of ethanol extract of Tridax Procumbent leaf and whole flower on T.
