| Popis: | This present investigation aimed to find out the best parameter level for transesterification process for the biodiesel production from the unused linseed oil with the help of low cost, eco-friendly eggshell derived catalyst. A novel catalyst calcium oxide (CaO) was derived from the consumed chicken eggshell with use of laboratory muffle furnace at 900 °C (calcination process) for 4 h. Multi parameter optimization was carried out by Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) with the help of 9 experimental run (L9 orthogonal arrays) 3 factors 3 levels based on the Taguchi technique to determine the best transesterification process parameter level. , the process parameters such as methanol to oil molar ratio, reaction temperature and catalyst loading were optimized with consideration of multi-performance parameters such as percentage of biodiesel yield and viscosity. By examining the grey relational grade, it was observed that the methanol to oil molar ratio and catalyst loading have more effects on responses followed by reaction temperature. Based on the GRA the optimal transesterification process parameters for the biodiesel production from the linseed oil with eggshell catalyst were found to be A3B3C3. |
