Abstract

Due to rapid depletion of fossil fuel reserves as well as the environmental problem concerns, biodiesel has attracted the people globally on present of it. In this study, heterogeneous catalyst derived from chicken and fish bones were employed in transesterification reaction of waste cooking oil for biodiesel production. Besides, physicochemical properties of the synthesized catalyst will be studied using various techniques such Brunauer, Emmet, and Teller (BET) surface area analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared, and Scanning Electron Microscope. From analysis conducted, biodiesel yield obtained with the presence of chicken bone catalyst with highest value is 90.00% with methanol to oil ratio 30.00 wt.%, catalyst to oil ratio 4.00 wt.% and four hours of reaction time, respectively. On the other hand, hybrid ratio of chicken bone with fish bone 90.00 wt.% of chicken bone mixed with 10.00 wt% of fish bone obtained the highest biodiesel yield of 88.09% with methanol to oil ratio of 30.00 wt.%, catalyst to oil ratio of 4.00 wt.% at four hours of reaction time. From the calorific value test, the highest calorific value is measured from hybrid chicken bone and fish bone biodiesel consist of 70.00 wt.% of chicken bone mixed with 30.00 wt% of fish bone ratio with 38.337 MJ/Kg. Hence, from the study of different researches and experiment conducted, production of biodiesel using chicken and fish bone waste-derived catalyst has a bright future to promote green technology that can help to sustain environment for future generation.
