摘要：There is increasing interest in many countries to search for suitable alternative fuels that are environmentalfriendly. Although straight vegetable oils can be used in diesel engines .their high viscosities, low volatilities and poor coldflow properties have laid to the investigation of various derivatives. Bio diesel is a fatty acid alkyl ester, which can bederived from any vegetable oil by Transesterificat ion. Bio diesel is a renewable, bio degradable and non -toxic fuel. Biodiesel made from renewable biological sources such as vegetable oils and animals fats. Object of this work is to optimizeexperimental conditions for bio diesel production from alkali-catalyzed esterificat ion of oils from renewable plant sources,in this study, cotton seed oil and rice bran oil were trans esterified with methanol using potassium hydroxide as catalyst toobtain cotton seed oil methyl ester and rice bran methyl ester
