Abstract

The transesterification of cottonseed oil and used frying oil to methyl esters (biodiesel) was studied using Sr(NO₃)₂ loaded onto calcium oxide as heterogeneous catalyst. Reaction parameters such as catalyst concentration, methanol/oil ratio, and reaction time on the conversion of cottonseed oil and used frying oil were investigated. The 35 % m/m Sr(NO₃)₂ catalyst loaded onto CaO, after being calcined at 750 °C for 6 h, was found to be the optimum catalyst. The quality of the methyl esters was tested according to the European standard ELOT EN 14214. The two types of biodiesel produced seemed to meet all the parameters of the European standard, except oxidation stability.
