Abstract

Biofuels are renewable fuels, which can meet the demand of the recent fossil fuel crisis as well as curb the pollution rise due to population explosion. This research focuses on the utilization of aquatic plants as a raw material for the production of biofuel. In this regard, water hyacinth is considered for the investigation. Water hyacinth is also known as Eichhornia crassipes, a biomass, that grows in water body. The plant is collected from Rachenahalli Lake of Bengaluru, India, which is synthesized as raw feedstock under optimal conditions. The method used for the production is trans-esterification where the alcohol used is methanol, and the catalyst is KOH. Using separatory funnel, the biodiesel and the glycerol are separated. The produced biodiesel is then tested in laboratory for density, viscosity, flash point, and calorific value for characterization. Later, water hyacinth biodiesel produced is compared with biodiesel standards to estimate its potential as an alternative fuel.
