Background on Biodiesel •What is biodiesel?•Advantages:
•Domestically produced•Use in engines •Environmentally friendly•Biodegradable
•Disadvantages: •Lack of auto maker approval •Lower fuel economy•Investigating nitrogen oxide
emissions •Possible harmful effects on car engines

Waste Cooking Oil Benefits
•Grease traps remove and separate fat, oils and greases in restaurants and food service establishments
•Solves the problem of too much grease and oil waste, especially in septic tanks and water treatment facilities
Background on Biodiesel
![Page 5: Project #6: Biodiesel from Waste Feedstock Sponsored by The National Science Foundation Grant ID No.: DUE-0756921 Anna Greve, Junior, Civil Engineering.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051214/56649c9d5503460f9495c505/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Waste Coffee Ground Benefits
•Enriches the feedstock market while lowering the production cost•Lowers purification cost•Replaces coal•Reduces the solid waste•Protects water resources
Background on Biodiesel
![Page 6: Project #6: Biodiesel from Waste Feedstock Sponsored by The National Science Foundation Grant ID No.: DUE-0756921 Anna Greve, Junior, Civil Engineering.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051214/56649c9d5503460f9495c505/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why biodiesel?
• Electric cars – Short vehicle ranges and long
recharge times – Extremely expensive – Battery uncertainty – Less existing infrastructure
• Corn-based ethanol – Causes food prices to increase – Energy used to fertilize, transport,
and process the corn releases greenhouse gases

Methods of Extraction
•Two Methods of Extraction:•Waste Cooking Oil (WCO)
•Waste Coffee Ground (WCG)
![Page 8: Project #6: Biodiesel from Waste Feedstock Sponsored by The National Science Foundation Grant ID No.: DUE-0756921 Anna Greve, Junior, Civil Engineering.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051214/56649c9d5503460f9495c505/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

WCO Extraction - Titration• Take a small amount of WCO (1mL), and combine with
10 mL methanol and 2 drops of an indicator • Add 0.5 mL or 1.0 mL NaOH drop-wise • When it turns pink…STOP
![Page 9: Project #6: Biodiesel from Waste Feedstock Sponsored by The National Science Foundation Grant ID No.: DUE-0756921 Anna Greve, Junior, Civil Engineering.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051214/56649c9d5503460f9495c505/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
WCO Extraction - Neutralization
• From titration, necessary amount of NaOH to be added is determined
• At this time, free fatty acid concentration (FFA) can also be determined

WCO Extraction - Reaction
• Allow NaOH to dissolve in 20 mL of methanol
• Combine, heat and stir • Variations in reaction
times

WCO Extraction - Separation
• Allow separation
• Remove glycerin
• Perform water wash
11

WCO Extraction – Data Gathering
• Biodiesel is weighed
• This weight is compared to weight of the starting amount of WCO to get a percent recovery
12

WCG Extraction – Neutralization
• Weigh out 5 g WCG – Variations in mixtures
(5% NaOH, 5% KOH, and 10% KOH)
• Combine with 200 mL methanol
• Allow to stir and heat for 2 ½ hours
13

WCG Extraction – Collection
• Every 30 minutes, check the heat and extract 1.5 mL solution
14
• Put vials in freezer to later evaluate purity

WCG Extraction – Methanol Evaporation
• Allow methanol to evaporate
• Dry off remaining methanol

Results – WCG Extraction
• For each mixture, 5 extractions were done
• Need to send samples to an outside facility for purity assessment

Future Research Plans
20
• Conduct more time trials for WCO extractions • Assess purity for both WCO and WCG extractions • Experiment with different amounts of NaOH and
different neutralizing agents • Dr. Lu’s cooking grease
