| dc.description.abstract | Sodium aluminate has been found to catalyse complete transesterification of used cotton seed oil. At optimum reflux conditions of methanol, for 0.5 wt % of the catalyst with 1: 22 molar ratio of oil and methanol, time required for completion of reaction was 1h 45 min. With higher oil: methanol molar ratio of 1:54, the catalyst showed tolerance of moisture upto 8 wt %. Sodium aluminate with calcination in the range of 250-850°C was also evaluated for transesterification of used cotton seed oil with methanol. Both sodium aluminate and calcinied sodium aluminate (250-850°C) were characterized by Powder XRD, Hammett indicators and TEM. | en |
