Coconut waste as a source for biodiesel production
Biodiesel industry needs a cheaper and economical viable raw material that can replace the currently used vegetable oil. Obtaining cheaper raw materials are one of the continuous targets of many biodiesel producing facilities since 70 to 95 % of the production costs are attributed to raw material...

| description | Biodiesel industry needs a cheaper and economical
viable raw material that can replace the currently used
vegetable oil. Obtaining cheaper raw materials are one of the
continuous targets of many biodiesel producing facilities since 70 to 95 % of the production costs are attributed to raw materials. One of the main options is to use waste material
from animal and plant sources. In this study, coconut waste is used to produce biodiesel using methanol and KOB. The oil content in coconut waste varies from 10-11 wt%. The highest yield, 64 % is achieved with 5 wt% of KOB within 3 hr by mixing raw material and methanol.
