How to make biodiesel-
- Take 1 liter of peanut oil. It can be easily bought from the grocery store.
- Take 200ml of Methanol, or ethanol.
- In this methanol, add 5.5gm of Sodium hydroxide/ NaOH (Or 7.6gm of Potassium hydroxide/KOH.
- 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.
- Then add this mixture slowly into the peanut oil. Addition should be done carefully. Don’t let the oil bounce up violently.
- Give little bit of heat & shake the oil.
- Within 15 minutes, you will observe clear liquid at the top of oil…that’s your biodiesel.
- Also you will get glycerin & whitish layer of soap.
Your biodiesel is ready!!
