dc.description.abstract Petroleum product exhaustion and natural debasement are twin crises through which the world is defied. Waste cooking oil, castor and sesame oil were taken into consideration and their physio-chemical properties were observed. Biodiesel as produced via alkali trans-esterification and monitored by varying types of lye (KOH/NaOH) concentration i.e., 0.5, 1, and 1.5%.The ratio of methanol to oil was from 4:1, 3:1, 2:1 and 1:1with reaction time of 30 minutes and temperature of 60°C. Under optimized conditions maximum biodiesel was produced from waste cooking oil, castor oil with 1% KOH and sesame oil with 1% NaOH. The maximum biodiesel yield calculated for waste cooking oil and sesame oil was 98.78% and 82.19% for castor oil. HPLC was used to confirm the conversion of triglycerides into fatty acids methyl esters. Utilization of low cost feed stocks and further study of Physico-chemical properties of biodiesel will contribute in producing eco-friendly biodiesel for engines. en_US
