ABSTRACT

This study investigated the potentials of soybean seed biodiesel as an alternative fuel for diesel engines. It involved the production of biodiesel from soybean seed and its engine performance study.  It started with the extraction of soybean oil from soybean seed and the soybean oil was transesterified with methanol using clay doped with ionic liquid as a catalyst to obtain methyl esters (biodiesel) of lower viscosity than the oil. The biodiesel possesses lower calorific value compared to fossil diesel. The specific gravity of the biodiesel does not vary much compared to fossil diesel. The kinematic viscosity is slightly higher than that of the fossil diesel counterpart but it is however within the biodiesel standard limits. The fuel properties such as kinematic viscosity, oxidation stability, cetane number, density and specific gravity, flash and boiling points, cloud and pour points, acid and methanol values, water contents and heats of combustion (lower calorific values) were determined for the soybean biodiesel and compared with those of fossil diesel and the ASTM recommended values for biodiesel. Therefore, biodiesel produced from renewable and often domestic sources, represents a more sustainable source of energy. The overall analysis has shown that biodiesel produced from soybean oil has the potentials as alternative fuel in conventional compression-ignition engines without any modifications to the engines
