Abstract
The high cost and lack of vegetable oil are limiting the expansion of biodiesel production. The purpose of research was to investigate the potential of animal fats as biodiesel feedstock. In this paper, transesterification using alkali catalyst and methanol was performed to reaction, we carried out experiments that it was changed variables as reaction temperature, methanol molar ratio, catalyst types, amount of catalyst and reaction time. The optimum reaction condition for biodiesel production was reaction temperature 65$^{\circ}C$, potassium hydroxide 1.0% (w/w), oil to methanol molar ratio 1:15 and reaction time 20 min. In this reaction condition, the contents of fatty acid methyl ester was reached to about 98.7%. Also, properties of biodiesel were measured to correspond to domestic quality standard of acid values, density and viscosity.
