How to make Biodiesel

How to make biodiesel-
  1. Take 1 liter of peanut oil. It can be easily bought from the grocery store.
  2. Take 200ml of Methanol, or ethanol.
  3. In this methanol, add 5.5gm of Sodium hydroxide/ NaOH (Or 7.6gm of Potassium hydroxide/KOH.
  4. This is exothermic process i.e. it will generate heat, so be careful, protect your eyes, & skin. Allow this mixture to settle-down for a while.
  5. Then add this mixture slowly into the peanut oil. Addition should be done carefully. Don’t let the oil bounce up violently.
  6. Give little bit of heat & shake the oil.
  7. Within 15 minutes, you will observe clear liquid at the top of oil…that’s your biodiesel.
  8. Also you will get glycerin & whitish layer of soap.
    Your biodiesel is ready!!
