A Review on Biodiesel and Effect of Oxygenize

Abstract

Biodiesel is a renewable like solar energy, coal, oil and natural gases. It is eco-friendly and energy-accomplice fuel that is becoming a more prominent alternative to Petro-diesel. However, biodiesel's limitations can be overcome by optimizing its quality and properties. Oxygenize supplements have been shown to play an important role in this optimization. In this research work, biodiesel was produced from cow dung, which is a readily available and abundant resource in villages and farms. The competency of the produced biodiesel was studied and compared to various criterion. Oxygenates additives, including methanol (CH₃OH), ethanol (C₂H₅OH), and diethyl ether (C₂H₅OC₂H₅), were added to this biodiesel at various ratios (10%, 20%, and 30%) to study their effects on the merits of the biodiesel produced. The efficiency of the biodiesel was also evaluated.
