Abstract

The biodiesel synthesis of waste cooking oil (WCO) over a impregnated biochar catalyst was systematically studied. This research aimed to prepare Biochar-based material that comes from coconut coir, activate it, and apply it as a catalyst to the esterification reaction of high-FFA waste cooking oil. Activation of the catalyst was done by impregnation H2SO4 solution in Biochar. The obtained catalyst was characterized by FTIR, XRF, XRD, surface area analyzer, and SEM-EDS. The esterification process was conducted by varying the catalyst weight (5, 7, and 10 wt%) and the reaction temperature (55 and 60 °C). The obtained liquid yields were characterized by GC-MS. The study found that the esterification process worked best with 10 wt% catalysts, a 1:76 mole ratio of oil to alcohol, and a reaction temperature of 60 °C. The waste cooking oil was successfully converted into biodiesel, reaching 84.50% of yield and 77.30% of purity (methyl ester content). Meanwhile, testing using national biodiesel standards with parameter limits of density, viscosity, iodine number, and acid number shows results that meet the requirements.

Abstract

Nanotechnology is a fast expanding field with several applications in science, engineering, healthcare, pharmaceutical, and other areas. Nanoparticles (NP) are frequently produced through a variety of physical and chemical methods. Recently, green synthesis technologies that are more simple, sustainable, and cost-effective have been developed. The environmentally friendly/sustainable synthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) has been in great demand in the previous quarter. Bioactive components found in organisms, such as plants, facilitate the processes of bio-reduction and restriction. This review described green synthesis of TiO2 NPs, the photocatalytical uses, and managing the larvicidal activity of disease-spreading mosquitoes. Various natural reducing agents including proteins, enzymes, phytochemicals, and others, are involved in the synthesis of TiO2 NPs. Current research findings and future concerns in a viable platform based on biologically meditated TiO2 nanostructures for industrial applications.
