Biodisel Production from Waste Shirmp (Peaneus Indicus)

The potential of Calcinated shrimp shells (Cao) is a suitable heterogeneous basic catalyst for transesteri¿cation of high FFA content waste cooking oil was investigated. A transesteri¿cation process produced Biodiesel. In the ¿rst step, the waste cooking oil was Filtered and mixed in magnetic stirrer for 30 min at room temperature at 300 rpm. The esteri¿ed oil was converted into biodiesel by reacting with methanol using calcinated Shrimp shells (Cao) as a heterogeneous basic catalyst by taking 6:1 ratio of methanol and oil respectively.
