Analysis of heterogeneous catalyzed castor oil biodiesel

The different catalysts are having an important key role for production (synthesis) of biodiesel. The heterogeneous catalysts are economically and commercially used especially in biodiesel industries. These catalysts are produced from the waste materials at a minimum cost. There is an interesting research area to find such waste materials for the preparation of the catalyst. Such materials are having a wide source and low cost. These eco-friendly waste catalysts can also use in some other organic reactions. Here Castor oil is used for biodiesel production through transesterification process. Castor oil biodiesel and its blends are used for testing of the IC engine. The analysis of results for performance and emission are discussed here. The results of different Castor Biodiesel blends are compared with petrodiesel. From the observations and results, this is concluded that the Castor biodiesel blends up to 20% by volume with diesel fuel can be replaced the pure diesel for existing diesel engine running. There are fewer emissions of exhaust gases without any drastic changes the conventional engines and with not losing any power outputs. This may help a large for reducing exhaust gas air pollution.
