Biofuel and Glycerin Production from Waste Rice Bran Cooking Oil and Fish Byproducts Oil as a Sustainable Development and an Environmental Recycling Process

The utilization of waste cooking oil from rice bran and fish byproducts including their wastes can contribute to mitigate the environmental burden like global warming what already being faced by our society. Converting waste oils /fat bearing materials to biodiesel fuel for recycling and reusing material, and reducing Co2 emission equivalent to the amount that is produced when petroleum derived diesel fuel is used. Waste cooking oil ( rice bran oil) and fish oil have emerged as the most promising sources for biodiesel production. This study was investigated to understand the proper transesterification, amount of biodiesel production (ester) and physical properties of biodiesel. Biodiesel production was higher in rice bran waste oil than in fish byproducts oil. However, crude glycerine was lower in rice bran oil than in fish oil. There was a difference in biodiesel production in different concentrations of methanol and catalyst used in rice bran and fish oil from byproducts. These results indicate that high quality biodiesel can be produced from waste rice bran and fish byproducts oil as environmental recycling process.
