摘要：Various research groups are on the way to develop cutting edge techniques for the production of environmental friendly fuels based on new green energy sources [1].Bio-fuels have potential to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) and can help to overcome the global warming issue.Agricultural wastes and edible- oils are potential raw material for the production of energy and biodiesel.Extensive work has been reported on the characterization of agro-wastes and rapeseed oils for the production of fuel palettes and synthetic bio-diesel respectively.The cellulosic materials are generally been used for the production of bio ethanol.The present paper reports the effect of key reaction parameters such as Ethanol/oil ratio, reaction time, catalyst concentration, temperature, type of alkaline catalyst on the yield of the bio-diesel from rape seed oil and ethanol at different operating conditions.The results indicate that ethanol/oil ratio is the most significant reaction parameters on yield.Increase in concentration of ethanol/oil ratio enhances the bio diesel production whereas enhanced catalyst (KOH, NaOH) concentration has negative impact on the yield of bio-diesel.
