Catalytic Efficiency of Limestone-Derived Calcium Oxide in the Transesterification of Tiger Nut and Sugar Apple Oils for Biodiesel Production
This study investigates the catalytic performance of calcium oxide (CaO) obtained from the Sokoto limestone site, which was used for the transesterification of non-edible tiger nut and sugar apple seed oils into biodiesel. The CaO catalyst was synthesized through thermal calcination and characterized with the aid of modern analytical tools, such as FTIR, XRD, TGA, and XRF. Under optimized process conditions. The result of the biodiesel yield was 91.8%. This shows that the catalyst demonstrated...
