Abstract

The purpose of the work is to study biodiesel production by transesterification of Simarouba oil with methanol in a heterogeneous system, using CaO as a solid base catalyst. The reaction variables such as the molar ratio of methanol to oil, reaction temperature, mass ratio of catalyst to oil and the reaction time was studied. At 65°C, 12:1molar ratio of methanol to oil, 180 minutes reaction time and 8% catalyst in oil, the conversion was over 95%.
