Dolomite as A Potential Source of Heterogenous Catalyst for Biodiesel Production from Pongamia pinnata
Biodiesel production from Pongamia pinnata, a tree-based oil using healthcare industrial waste dolomite as a catalyst, was studied. The studies aimed to establish the ideal parameters for producing biodiesel, such as temperature, the ratio of methanol to oil, and the weight percentage of the catalys...

| description | Biodiesel production from Pongamia pinnata, a tree-based oil using healthcare industrial waste dolomite as a catalyst, was studied. The studies aimed to establish the ideal parameters for producing biodiesel, such as temperature, the ratio of methanol to oil, and the weight percentage of the catalyst. The healthcare industrial waste was procured and characterized. With the operating conditions, temperature maintained at 75°C, methanol to oil molar ratio of about 20:1, and a catalyst weight of 5%, the optimum yield of 92.3% was obtained. The tree-based nonedible oil source for biodiesel production was suggested widely due to its ability to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs). The Pongamia Pinnata cultivation on barren land supports the afforestation projects with economic and environmental values; further biodiesel from renewable bioresources reduces emissions, and livelihood development to eradicate unemployment are the primary objectives for achieving the SDGs. The tree-based biodiesel production and adaptation of dolomite as a heterogeneous catalyst have proven to be a recent attraction among scientists. The present study is the first report on Pongamia pinnata for biodiesel production catalyzed by dolomite. |
