Abstract

The depleting petroleum reservoir, concern for environment or climate leads to many researches to search for renewable alternative source of energy. These renewable sources of energy include solar energy, Tidal energy, wind energy, Hydropower, Biomass and Biofuels. Among the different possible renewable sources one such alternative is produced by transesterification of vegetable oil with methanol in presence of catalyst (alkali and acid) in Convensional Batch Reactor. In our study the preparation of Neem Oil Methyl Ester (NOME) were carried out by varying different parameters like oil/alcohol molar ratio, reaction time, concentration of acid and base catalysts. Fatty Acid Methyl Ester produced by using Oscillatory Baffled Reactor 1-2% H2SO4, 1:9 oil/alcohol ratio, 10-15min reaction time, 25-30ºC temperature.
