Abstract

Biodiesel from non-edible plants will contend economically with fossil oil diesel fuels as a future prospective fuel. The bio-oil was extracted from the non-edible seed kitul by soxhlet extraction victimisation resolvent as associate degree organic solvent then additional, the oil was analyzed for wet content, pH, relative density, density, viscosity, chemical reaction price, ratio, peroxide price, acid variety, free carboxylic acid and iodine price. The results showed that the bio-oil content was twenty one.57% and characterised by GC-MS that showed hexadecanoic acid and monounsaturated fatty acid as dominant fatty acids. The bio-oil extracted from the plant seeds was reborn into biodiesel victimisation KOH catalyst and therefore the biodiesel yield was calculated as eighty two.
