Abstract

In the present study, we present a holistic approach to emphasize the importance of process conditions of In-situ transesterification to evaluate madhuca biodiesel sustainability. The current study proposes the utilization of Plackett–Burman design followed by central composite design to maximize the biodiesel yield, exegy analysis and kinetics of biodiesel. The LCA analysis and energy spent on different techniques used in biodiesel synthesis were also studied. Screening of variables using Plackett–Burman design was carried out to identify maximum oil yield following central composite design and exergy analysis. Plackett–Burman screening design revealed seed weight, hexane volume, sulfuric acid, and temperature were the important variables (P
