TRANSESTRIFICATION OF KARANJA (Pongamia pinnata) OIL

Sriramajayam, S.

Abstract :

The objective of the present work is to produce biodiesel from non edible karanja vegetable. The optimal conditions for best yield of biodiesel from karanja were observed with molar ratio of 1:7.5, catalyst amount of 0.3M and reaction time of 2h. The calorific value for biodiesel was 39.81 MJ/kg. The kinematic viscosity of biodiesel from karanja oil at 40oC was found to be 5.59 mm2/s. The flash point, cloud point and pour point were 163°C, 14°C and 1°C, respectively. All the biodiesels produced in the present study met the BIS standards.
