Description 249-255
In present study, the waste aluminium foil a menace to the environment and human health has been converted into
catalyst. The prepared catalyst NaOH/γ-Al2O3 (3% by wt. of oil) has been used to transesterify waste cooking oil (WCO) in
combination to methyl alcohol (CH3OH) having a methyl alcohol to oil molar ratio of 15:1 for a reaction time of 1 hour in
microwave based processor. The effect of different process affecting constraints such as catalyst amount, reaction
temperature/time, the molar ratio of methyl alcohol to oil are also studied. The bio-diesel yield has been recorded as 98%
and the physicochemical properties of bio-diesel found in reasonable agreement with ASTM bio-diesel standards.
