Abstract

Groundnut oil is an organic material oil derived from groundnuts and it has been noted to have the aroma and taste of its parent legume. The study therefore produced biodiesel crude groundnut oil through alkali catalyzed transesterification using methanol, in the presence of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH). The physiochemical parameter of biodiesel was characterized and from the results obtained, the methyl ester produced can be effectively used in a diesel engine since the value is within the range of the required standard. Groundnuts oil has biodiesel optimum yield of 93.9% and the fuel properties of the biodiesel are close to that of petroleum diesel and hence can be used as alternative fuel.
