Abstract

Biodiesel is having a great importance recently due to lack of available conventional energy resources. To complete the demand of energy it is required to find alternative energy source that serve the energy need and emit lower pollutants. This work involves production of biodiesel by alkali catalysed transesterification process and generation of wastewater by wet washing and treatment of wastewater. The wastewater involves various components like soaps, salts, catalyst, methanol, glycerol etc. By applying Advance treatment technique, we can reduce biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), oil and grease, total dissolve solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), chloride, ammoniacal nitrogen, total solids (TS) etc. In this work, UV/H2O2, Fenton reaction and Photo-Fenton method are applied for wastewater treatment and the results are compared.
