Thevetia peruviana Seed Oil Transesterification for Biodiesel Production: An Optimization Study

Biodiesel production has been studied using non-edible seed oil from Thevetia peruviana. The peruviana could be used as a feedstock for biodiesel manufacturing. In this paper, the of utilizing Seed Oil (TPSO) investigated. ripe seeds were gathered China and Pakistan, after drying, its was extracted Soxhlet procedure. seeds' highest content discovered to between 48-62%. Investigations done into TPSO's physicochemical characteristics. Transesterification make biodiesel. methanol molar ratio, duration, temperature, rate stirring, amount catalyst loaded all in order optimize synthesis process get yield. Under ideal conditions, which included methanol-to-oil ratio 6:1, loading 0.42 weight percent, temperature 70°C, stirring 700 rpm, an 80-minute reaction period, yield 98.4%. Gas Chromatography (GC) analysis identify fatty acid configuration oil. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR, 1H NMR 13C NMR) Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) characterize product. ASTM & EN test technique determine biodiesel's fuel is that satisfies requirements D6751 standards. As result, possible
