Abstract :

In current exploration, a newer egg shell derived catalyst (ESDC) was prosperously developed by calcination of egg shell powder and exercised to the transesterification of Helianthus annuus L oil respecting production of biodiesel. The superlative biodiesel (%) yield was observed up to 99.2%. Synthesized egg shell derived catalyst affirmed remarkable catalytic activity for transesterification of Helianthus annuus L oil with 2.5% catalyst dose (w/w). ESDC was deservedly characterized by FT-IR, XRD, BET, TPD-CO2, TGA and SEM analysis. While, Helianthus annuus L oil and biodiesel were punctually characterized by FT-IR, as well as 1H and 13C NMR were done by spectroscopic techniques. As an evidenced of the experimental results, the optimal reaction conditions within the stipulated framework were found to be, 65�?ºC reaction temperature, 2 h reaction time, 2.5% catalyst loading and 1:8 Helianthus annuus L oil to methanol molar ratio, obtaining maximal biodiesel (%) yield.
