Project Abstract
AbstractThis research project focuses on the production, characterization, and biodegradability of biodiesel derived from Mangifera indica (mango) kernel oil, an industrial byproduct. The study aims to explore the potential of using mango kernel oil as a feedstock for biodiesel production as an alternative and sustainable energy source. The research involves the extraction of oil from mango kernels using a solvent extraction method followed by transesterification to convert the oil into biodiesel. The resulting biodiesel will be characterized using various analytical techniques such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to determine its chemical composition and properties. Furthermore, the biodegradability of the mango kernel oil biodiesel will be assessed to understand its environmental impact and potential for sustainable use. Biodegradability tests will be conducted to evaluate the rate at which the biodiesel breaks down in natural environments, providing insights into its eco-friendliness and compatibility with existing waste management systems. The results of these tests will contribute to the overall assessment of the environmental sustainability of using mango kernel oil biodiesel as a renewable fuel source. Overall, this research project aims to contribute to the growing field of alternative energy sources by investigating the feasibility of utilizing mango kernel oil for biodiesel production. By exploring the production process, characterizing the resulting biodiesel, and evaluating its biodegradability, this study seeks to provide valuable insights into the potential of mango kernel oil as a sustainable feedstock for biodiesel. Through comprehensive analysis and testing, this research will contribute to the understanding of the chemical and environmental properties of mango kernel oil biodiesel, ultimately supporting the development of renewable energy solutions and promoting a more sustainable energy future.
Project Overview
INTRODUCTION
Energy is essential to man’s continued existence. Today, the energy used by most industrialized and developing nations is oil, coal and natural gas. This need of energy is increasing continuously,1 fossil fuel reserves are fast depleting, crude oil prices are soaring and there is considerable uncertainty in their near-future availability. Countries lacking petroleum-based resources are facing foreign exchange crisis due to importation of crude oil. This increasing trend in world energy consumption can be attributed to a growing world population and activities of developing countries2. As world population continues to grow and the limited amounts of fossil fuels diminish, it may not be possible to provide the amount of energy demanded by only using fossil fuels to convert energy. And although, most countries are comfortable with the fairly low cost of converting fossil fuels as their main source of energy, there are problems associated with this: they are a major source of environmental pollution and the green house gas, CO2 which is associated with global warming.
If we are to keep on the trend of increasing global consumption, resources are bound to run out. The amount of time until this happens depends on efforts from countries to tap into renewable resources2. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly certain that in the future agriculture will become a significant supplier of energy along with food3. Already, the renewable form of energy diversification, from our green fields, known as biofuels is gaining grounds and proving to be the viable complement to petroleum-based fuels. Due to its clean emissions, ease of use and many other benefits, biodiesel is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing alternative fuels in the world. It can be used either pure or in blends with diesel fuel in unmodified engines as it reduces some exhaust pollutants. Also, while it can be produced from animal fats, the main fuel stock is vegetable oils, which can be obtained from amazing variety of plants. 4
