Economical Biodiesel Fuel Synthesis from Castor Oil Using Mussel Shell-Base Catalyst (MS-BC)

Abstract This paper presents economical biodiesel fuel synthesis from castor oil using mussel shell-base catalyst (MS-BC). A transesterification of castor oil as non-edible feedstock to biodiesel was conducted in a flask reactor. Two catalysts were examined, where the calcined mussel shell and the i...

A transesterification of castor oil as non-edible feedstock to biodiesel was conducted in a flask reactor. Two catalysts were examined, where the calcined mussel shell and the impregnated calcium oxide with the potassium hydroxide were run by batch system.
