The Production of Biodiesel from Human Faeces – A Constituent of Sewage Sludge using Chloroform and N Hexane
Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
The Lipid oil was extracted from reduced dried primary sewage sludge particle using soxh let extraction method with the mixture of chloroform and n hexane in ratio 2 1 as the extracting solvent. The extracted oil was transesterified to produce biodiesel. The lipid gave 7.969 percentage yield with density of 0.855g ml, specific gravity value of 0.855. The chemical analyses revealed acid value of 0.84mg NaOH g, free fatty acid value of 0.40 and saponification value was 1.30mg. The lipid oil was brownish black in colour with a pungent smell. The physicochemical analyses of the biodiesel produced gave a percentage yield of 32 biodiesel, density of 0.834Kg ml, pH value of 8.97, specific gravity of 0.834, acid value of 0.29mg KOH g,saponification value of 1.30 mg, free fatty acid value of 0.145 It is thus apparent that the feedstock primary sewage sludge may be a good source for the production of biodiesel.
