Optimization and kinetic studies on biodiesel production from underutilized Ceiba Pentandra oil

- C. Pentandra oil is non-edible, which has been used as a novel source for the first time for biodiesel production.
- This study gives an overall view of extraction and process parameter optimization for biodiesel production.
- Kinetic studies were established for the production of biodiesel for C. Pentandra oil.
- Physio chemical characteristics of C. Pentandra oil and biodiesel were determined as per standard method.
- The fuel properties of biodiesel obtained from C. Pentandra oil were compared with ASTM D6751 standards.
