Abstract

The expansive use of diesel fuel worldwide and the rapid depletion of crude oil reserves have prompted keen interest and exhaustive research into suitable alternative fuels. Biomass sources, particularly vegetal oils, have attracted much attention in recent years because of their wide availability and ease of renewal. Alternative fuels for diesel engines are becoming increasingly important because of the diminishing petroleum reserves. In addition, environmental pollution, through the emission of carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrocarbons, and hazardous particulates, and the threat of climatic change associated with green house effect are the most serious problems across the world (Amigun, Sigamoney, & Blottnitz, 2008). Therefore, the demand for clean, alternative fuel has been growing rapidly. Among the many possible sources, biodiesel attracts the most attention as a promising substitute for conventional diesel fuel. Biodiesel refers to the lower alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids, which are synthesized either by transesterification with lower alcohols or by esterification of fatty acids in the presence or absence of a catalyst (Freedman & Pryde, 1984).
