Abstract: This present study reports about the Acacia nilotica (karuvel) seed oil from which biodiesel for experimenting is produced. The greatest advantage of Karuvel oil is free from the content of fatty acid and so esterification of free fatty acid was done which was then undergone a transesterification process and from which the production of biodiesel was done. The catalyst like Sulphuric acid along with KOH was used as a catalyst and made available for the transesterification process. The gas chromatography and also the physiochemical properties is characterized for the biodiesel which is produced. Unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters are been found in a high value in the Karuvel biodiesel. A detailed report has been given on the Catalyst concentration and reaction time for completing the transesterification process.
Keywords: Acacia nilotica (karuvel), Nozzle.
