  Synthesis and Characterization of Biodiesel from Waste Cooking Oils by Acid and Base Catalysis

  By Samuel Tetteh, Famous Siadah, John Prosper Kwaku Adotey

  Abstract: In this study, biodiesel was synthesized by the transesterification reaction involving methanol and triglyceride obtained from waster cooking oil (WCO) in a laboratory scale reactor. Different concentrations of catalysts such as sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) were employed in the reactions. The feedstock samples were gathered from neighbourhood eateries in Ghana's Cape Coast metropolis. Investigations were done into how variables including temperature, reaction time, methanol/WCO ratio, and catalyst …
