dc.description.abstractThis paper reports the synthesis and characterization of heterogeneous catalyst from mixture of cow-bone and termite clay for the transesterification of waste vegetable oil (WVO) using simple 2k factorial design method for the optimization of process parameters. Four factors Viz methanol to oil ratio, reaction temperature, catalyst loading and reaction time were investigated. It was found that the most significant factor on the biodiesel production was reaction time based on the factorial design method. The optimum FAME yield of 98.5% were achieved at methanol to oil ratio 6:1; catalyst loading of 2.0 wt%; reaction temperature of 65􀔨 and reaction time of 1 h. The biodiesel produced with the optimized process parameters meets the global standard for biodiesel ASTM and thus could be considered as suitable substitute for conventional diesel in unmodified diesel engine application.en_US
