This is to certify that Master Sachin , student of class
XII, JAWAHAR NAVODAYA VIDYALAYA has
satisfactorily completed the chemistry project entitled:
“ Formation Of Biodiesel ”
himself and under my guidance The progress of the
project has been continuously reported and has been in
my knowledge consistently.
-
Measure out 200 ml of antifreeze and put it in one
plastic container.
Add in lye so that the antifreeze is absorbed.
Cover container and mix well by shaking it. It is
mixed when it starts to feel warm and is foamy. The
mixture has now become sodium methoxide.
Blend 1 liter of vegetable oil with the sodium
methoxide in a blender for 20 minutes.
Pour mixture into a bottle and wait 8 hours until the
byproduct, glycerin, separates form the biodiesel. The
glycerin will be on the solid on the bottom.
Separate out the biodiesel by pouring into a glass
bottle.
Prepare a wash bottle by poking a small hole in the
corner of the bottle and covering it with duct tape.
Wash the biodiesel by pouring it into the wash bottle
and adding in ½ a liter of water. Roll the bottle
around to mix it and then remove the duct tape and
drain the water.
Repeat the washing process until the biodiesel is clear.
This may need to be done numerous times over the
course of a week to complete the process. Store the
biodiesel in a glass container until ready to use.

basically the same cost of the oil used to make it.
Biodiesel cleans the dirt from the engine. This dirt then collects
in the fuel filter, which can clog it. Clogging occurs most often
when biodiesel is first used after a period of operation with
petroleum diesel, so filters should be changed after the first
several hours of biodiesel use.
All the information is gathered from the internet.
