Characterization of Crude Palm Oil (CPO), Corn Oil and Waste Cooking Oil for Biodiesel Production

Biodiesel production is the reaction of raw oils with mixing and heating within catalyst methanol. The usually come from vegetable animal fats. Vegetable are a promising feedstock for biodiesel since they renewable in nature. Nevertheless, physical properties pose some acute problems when used an unmodified engine. It important to diesel biodiesels because it impacts components such as fuel pump. Therefore, this paper intends investigate samples terms viscosity, density, flash point acid values at different bio lipids time. evaluation carried out on three types biodiesels: crude oil, palm corn waste cooking oil. Methanol was chosen over others transesterification process cheaper. esterification process, which reduces amount free fatty acids will be performed help catalyst. Alkaline catalysts, contrast, process. comparison all shows that CPO better than other due kinematic density flashpoint.
