Enhancing Quality of Biodiesel Obtained from Non Edible Oil using Nano Additives

Biodiesel is a form of diesel fuel derived from plants or animals and consisting of long-chain fatty acid esters. It is typically made by chemically reacting lipids such as animal fat (tallow), soybean oil, or some other vegetable oil with an alcohol, producing a methyl, ethyl or propyl ester. By using biodiesel, we can protect the environment and begin to address climate change. Biodiesel sharply reduces major harmful pollutants, toxic gases such as NOx, CO, CO2, HC etc. Using it in place of fossil fuels cuts particulate matter and hydrocarbon emissions and various harmful gases by nearly half. Nonedible oil from Cashew nut shell (CNS) is reported to be feasible choices for developing countries including India where consumption of fuel is very high. CNS oil is relatively an inexpensive and available raw material for biodiesel production as India is one of the largest producers of cashew nut in the world. additives added in to the blends of biodiesel with diesel then they can enhance the quality of combustion and leads to complete combustion. Diethyl ether, ethanol, methanol, and n-butanol can be used as biodiesel additive because of their higher oxygen content. nanoparticles as additive in biodiesel has emerged as a new promising fuel additive for achieving improvement in the performance and level best reduction of exhaust emission. Biodiesel fuel filter blockage problems occur even though the biodiesels cold flow properties (CFP) filter clogging problems, viscosity, air quality, etc. Hence, it is todays need to reduce harmful pollutants which is generate from diesel and use biodiesel with best additives and make biodiesel more eco-friendly. In the present work Cashew Nut Shell is produced by the Transesterification process. crystalline structure of nano additives is done with the help of X-ray Diffraction Technique (XRD). additives and nano particles sio2 and Al203 additives are blend with the help of ultrasonicator in CNS oil and comparison between the with and without nano additives in biodiesel. Using Nano additives in biodiesel to achieve best reduction of exhaust emission to improves air quality of the environment.
