 Biodiesel

• Hydrocarbon fuel that is produced from organic matter .

• Biodiesel can be produced from straight vegetable oil, animal oil or fats,
waste cooking oil.
• Described as ‘carbon neutral’.
• First generation.
• Second generation.
• Third generation.
 Current problems

• India is the world’s fifth largest primary energy consumer and fourth
largest petroleum consumer after United States, China and Japan.
• With 1.2 billion people India consumes 1.5 billion barrels per year
and imports nearly 70% of its daily consumption.
• Ultimately India has set a goal of 20 percent for all biofuels content
by 2017.
• It is highly doubtful that they will reach the target. It’s been a rocky
road all along for ethanol.
 Present of biodiesel in India

• India ranked 5th in biodiesel production after EU,china,US and

Brazil.
• India's mission of 20% by 20.
• Major portion comes from jathropa oil.
• Out of the 600000 km2 of wasteland 300000 km2 suitable for
biodiesel producing plants.
Total energy distribution in India
Argemone mexicana
 Plant properties
• Argemone mexicana widely known as mexican poppy.
• In india its been called as swarnakshiri or katekusari.
• Hardy pioneer plant , can tolerate of drought and poor soil.
• Flowering all year.
• Anti-malaria plant. In malaria plants tea is used.
• Its also anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer
and having seductive properties.
• Mosquito repellent its strong larvicidal.
 Objectives of project
• To prepare the blends of biodiesel from the Mexicana seeds.
• To enhance the properties of Mexicana biodiesel with the help of n-
butanol.
• To study the engine performance parameters.
• To compare the results of (AB20) Mexicana biodiesel blends with
the standard diesel oil.
 Ethanol vs butanol
• Ethanol has about half the energy per mass of gasoline.
• Ethanol produces more ozone.
• High contribution into smog formation.
• Engines must be modified to run on ethanol.
• Bio-butanol has slightly less energy compared to ethanol.
• Can run in any car that uses gasoline without the need for
modification to engine components.
 Project work
• Literature review
• Biodiesel production.
• Replacement of the current diesel fuel with (AB20) biodiesel and
test engine on it.
• Performance parameters of engines fueled with Argemone biodiesel
under different load conditions.
• Study of engine emission.
P. Pramanik et al
• Argemone oil , was treated in two different processes. The resultant
oil, refined argemone oil (RAO), was compared with traditional
transesterified biodiesel (TEO) prepared from crude argemone oil.
• Results indicated that RAO had properties closer to those of TEO
and important properties like viscosity and pour point of RAO were
also within the acceptable range.
• This is probably the most feasible technique to convert argemone
oil to biofuel additive with petroleum diesel.
• Cost of RAO is 5 times less than TEO.
Fangrui Ma et al
• Biodiesel has become more attractive recently but The cost of
biodiesel is the main hurdle to commercialization of the product.
• There are four primary ways to make biodiesel, direct use and
blending, microemulsions, thermal cracking (pyrolysis) and
transesterication.
• The most commonly used method is transesterication of vegetable
oils and animal fats.
Ashish Sithta et al
• Argemone Mexicana, a weed crop and its seed oil methyl ester have
not been tested for performance potential for diesel engine.
• The maximum brake thermal efficiency was obtained to be 28.56%
for B20, which was slightly higher than that of diesel.
• Significant decrease in the emission level with blends of Argemone
oil.
• Biodiesel obtained is of good quality and is suitable for using in
diesel engine.
V. Honig et al
• BioButanol is thus not only a promising alternative fuel for gasoline,
but also a possible replacement for bioethanol.
• Butanol can be produced virtually with the same ingredients as
bioethanol, but in terms of fuel property, it is a preferable
alternative to bioethanol.
• The development of renewable sources of carbohydrates from
agricultural crops butanol can also help reduce imports of
petroleum fuels in support of agriculture, availability of drinking
water and an increase employment in the region.
 Biodiesel production steps
Vegetable Oil
Filtration
heat to 50 degree Celsius stir for 24 hours
Setting for separation phase
Separation of glycerin from biodiesel
Washing of biodiesel
Boil to 100 degree Celsius for moisture removal
Filtration
Pure biodiesel formation
 Diesel parameter

 AB-Factor
• 100% biodiesel is referred to as B100
• 20% biodiesel, 80% petro diesel is labeled B20
• 5% biodiesel, 95% petro diesel is labeled B5
• 2% biodiesel, 98% petro diesel is labeled B2
• So we are introducing new term AB which stands for Argemone
mexicana biodiesel.
 Why AB-Biodiesel
• Plant found all over india.
• Seed contains 30-36% of oil.
• Its non-edible so its cheap.
• Can run in any car that uses gasoline without the need for
modification to engine components.
 Advantages of biodiesel
• Biodiesel is better for the environment because it is made from
renewable resources
• Lower emissions compared to petroleum diesel.
• Produced domestically with natural resources, its use decreases our
dependence on imported fuel and contributes to our own economy.
• Use of wasteland for plantation improves environment.
 Expected outcomes

• Enhancement in the properties of Maxicana Biodiesel Parameters With

the help of n-butanol.
• Improved engine parameters with (AB20) Mexicana Bio-diesel.
• To study biodiesel property with normal diesel and in comparison with
ethanol and get better results.
• To make different successful blends of n-butanol with argemone
Mexicana biodiesel
