Abstract

The growing need for oil presents a difficulty necessitates finding alternative energy sources. Since petroleum is a non-renewable resource, it requires millions, or even hundreds of millions of years to undergo transformation its raw materials into usable petroleum, the increase in the amount of petroleum consumption causes depletion of the amount of petroleum, potentially causing an energy crisis in the future. One solution is to process waste cooking oil into biodiesel as a substitute for diesel fuel. In order to generate superior biodiesel with relatively elevated quality, an investigation was conducted on the use of CaO as a solution purifier from impurities, separating glycerol and methyl ester. Most interestingly, Biodiesel can be used in existing diesel engines with minimal to no adjustments and little loss of performance. Most studies suggest that incorporating sufficient oxygen in biodiesel significantly reduces exhaust emissions.
