Abstract
Biodiesel has been defined as the mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty
acids, preferentially methyl and ethyl esters, derived from renewable feed
stocks, such as vegetable oils or animals fats. Combustion of biodiesel in
diesel engines results in energy and CO2, which is absorbed through the plant
growth. In this study, transesterification method is adopted for synthesize
biodiesel using homogenous catalyst. The newly synthesized biodiesel is
subjected to study its acid value, molecular weight through saponification
value. In addition its viscosity, Flash Point and Fire points were determined.
