3. Introduction
Due to the fossil fuel depletion and increasing global price,
developing new alternative fuels has become a pressing issue
nowadays.
More and more concern on the impact of environmental
issues.
Biodiesel, a renewable biofuel has been considered as an
alternative diesel fuel.

What is biodiesel?
• Biodegradable
• Used in any compression
ignition engine.
• Usually done by
base‐catalyzed
transesterification of
fats/oils.
6. Introduction
6
Commercial biodiesel is sold as a “blend” with regular
ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD).
Example: B2 (2% biodiesel, 98% petroleum diesel)
(CPC corporation, Taiwan)
Pure biodiesel is known as B100 (100%) or neat
biodiesel
-Normally B100 is not used in vehicle engines due to engine warranty
concerns.
7. Introduction

Why biodiesel is so advantage using as additive to use in
engine?
The cetane number of biodiesel is higher than that of diesel which results in a shorter ignition
delay time. (Raslavicius et al., 2010)
Biodiesel seems very promising because it can directly replace petroleum diesel and be used in
diesel engines without any major modifications. (Rajasekar et al., 2010)
Biodiesel is used as an alternative fuel in diesel engines reduce emissions of hydrocarbons (HC),
carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur oxide (SO2), PM (particle matter), polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbon (PAH). (Salamanca et al., 2012)
【US EPA, 2002】
1.Low sulfur content
2.Higher flash point
3.Higher oxygen content
4.Higher cetane number
5.Biodegradable
6.No PAH content
7.No Pb content
8.No halogens
8. Introduction
Catalysts
The heterogeneous catalysts of alkaline earth metal oxides,
have been investigated for biodiesel production (Carrero et al.,
2011).
CaO have been shown to possess good performance (Khemthong et
al., 2012).
Because of sources for the preparation of Ca-based catalysts
are mainly commercial precursors, and hence would increase
the cost of biodiesel production.
8
The major obstacle to biodiesel commercialization is its high
cost.
9. Experimental section

In our work, we have investigated the transesterification of
waste cooking oil and jatropha oil with methanol catalyzed by
CaO derived from the food wastes of Eggshell and Oystershell.

21. Conclusion
20
The amount of eggshell at 5 wt%, jatropha oil had best yield of
biodiesel production.
The amount of oystershell at 6 wt%, jatropha oil had best yield of
biodiesel production.
Due to the more residual from waste cooking oil, it’s caused the yield
of biodiesel is lower than jatropha oil .
The high potential food wastes uses as biodiesel synthesis catalysts
can be a green biodiesel process due to their eco-friendly
characteristics and cheap cost.
The best yield of waste cooking oil and jatropha oil were 87.3% and
91.1%, respectivity.
22. What have we learned
This highly efficient and low cost eggshell catalyst
could make the process of biodiesel production
economically.
In the future, the ecologically and economically
friendly process could effectively reduce the
processing cost of biodiesel, making it competitive
with petroleum diesel.
We can learn from waste to worth is very important.

Notas do Editor
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Good afternoon, Ladies and gentlemen. I am very proud to be here to present our research . The topic of my presentation Food waste and food processing waste for renewable energy production. The research team includes Prof. Lin from National Sun Yat-Sen University and Mr. Yang PhD from Na tional Sun Yat-Sen University ,and my name is Syu-Ruei Jhang
The first slide is outline of today’s presentation.
I've divided my presentation into four parts.
The introduction I will introduce how to produced the biodiesel and the application of biodiesel(including the advantage and disadvantage)
I will introduce how to use food waste to be the catalyst using in biodiesel production
And then is the result of my research and conclusion.
1.Rapid depletion of global energy resources and increased concern on the impact of environmental issues.
2. So, Biodiesel, a renewable energy has been considered as an alternative diesel fuel.
Now, I would like to introduce the diesel engine, the diesel engine have high fuel efficiency and high power output and high economy
But the diesel engine have more pollution than gasoline engine, So, the biodiesel has best characteristic blends with diesel engine it’s will have best performance using in engine.
A biodegradable, combustible fuel made from vegetable oils and/or animal fats.
Usually done by base‐catalyzed transesterification of fats/oils.
Can be used in any compression ignition engine that will accept regular diesel fuel.
Engine does NOT need to be modified to use biodiesel blended with regular diesel.
This yields mono-alkyl methyl esters (biodiesel) and glycerin.
The research by US EPA, with increase of biodiesel we can found the tradition pollutant (PM, CO, HC) will decrease but the NOx was increase with biodiesel blends.
Why biodiesel is so advantage using as additive to use in engine?
1.It has a higher flashpoint
2. Lower exhaust gas emissions
3. Aids in keeping the fuel system clean.
4. Improved engine lubricity.
The increase of biodiesel addition will decreased the pollutant emissions, but NOx emission will increase with blends of biodiesel
*A lot of research had published as follows
The major obstacle to biodiesel commercialization is its high cost, which is approximately 1.5 times more than petroleum diesel fuel due to the cost of vegetable oil [7]. One of the best ways to reduce the cost of biodiesel is to increase biodiesel yields.
So, what should we do?
The next slide we are talking about the heterogeneous catalysts of alkaline earth metal oxides, have been investigated for the process of biodiesel production.
In particular Calcium oxide (CaO), have been shown to possess good performance.
The food waste can be an alternative catalyst
We need to find the alternative catalysts by using food waste and food processing wastes.
Oyster shells were collected from dongshin fishing harbor where is form chiayi at the south of taiwan.
Dongshin fishing harbor aquaculture includes pond fish culture , marine fish culture and oyster culture.
This is production process of biodiesel
It was considered that the related chemical reactions are accelerated by microwave energy .
How to produced Biofuels?
The Biofuel is produced from animal fats or vegetables with methanol or ethanol as the catalyst by transesterification reaction.
We finally can get the product Biodiesel and byproduct glycerin.
1.The waste eggshells were collected from the restaurant near by school.
2.Dried at 105℃ and calcined at 1000 ℃
3. The crystalline phase of the calcined sample was confirmed using a powder X-ray diffractometer
After calcined the eggshell, the Calcium carbonate was become the calcium oxide
The crystalline phase of the calcined sample was confirmed using a powder X-ray diffractometer (XRD).(Ashish et al., 2010)
The physicochemical properties of the eggshell-derived catalyst, which was calcined at 1000 ◦C
The result of X-ray diffractometer (XRD) in this study are similar to the other results of (Ashish et al., 2010; Natarajan et al., 2013)
1.The waste oystershells were collected from Dongshin Fishing Harbor.
2. Dried at 105℃ and calcined at 1000 ℃.
3. The crystalline phase of the calcined sample was confirmed using a powder X-ray diffractometer
After calcined the oystershell, the Calcium carbonate was become the calcium oxide
When effect of amount of eggshell catalyst we can find both of them, 5wt% have the best yield of biodiesel were 87.8% and 91.7%, respectivity.
When effect of amount of eggshell catalyst we can find both of them, 6wt% have the best yield of biodiesel were 87.3% and 91.1%, respectivity.
We can found that when control the reaction temperature at 65 degree in the control condition the best yield of jatropha oil is 91.7%, compared with waste cooking oil the best yield of waste cooking oil is 87.8%.
concluded that
the addition of an excessive amount of alkaline catalyst gives rise to the formation of an emulsion, which increases viscosity and leads to the formation of gels
When control the best amount of catalyst form eggshell and oystershell, we can find both of them have the best time is 165 min.
The saponification lead to reduce in biodiesel yields, with the increasing of reaction time.
When control the best amount of catalyst form eggshell and oystershell, we can find both of them have the best temperature is 65 degree.
High temperatures can reduce the viscosity of the oil but it may cause a large amount bubbles from vaporize of methanol, lead to reduce in biodiesel yields
When control the best amount of catalyst form eggshell and oystershell, we can find both of them have the best Methanol: oil is 9:1 .
High temperatures can reduce the viscosity of the oil but it may cause a large amount bubbles from vaporize of methanol, lead to reduce in biodiesel yields
