Abstract
This work is about the production of biodiesel from watermelon (Citrullus
lanatus) seed oil. The oil extraction was done using solvent extraction
method. The basic test for suitability of the obtained watermelon oil was
carried out. Using trans-esterification process, watermelon oil was heated to
60˚C, solutions of methoxide (NaOCH3) were also added and stirred
continuously for an hour. It was left to settle for 24 hours. After shaking, the
mixture was poured into a separating funnel and was allowed to stand for 24
hours. The biodiesel was obtained using the separating funnel, separating
biodiesel and glycerine. The washed biodiesel was collected into a beaker and
gently heated in an oven at 105˚C to evaporate the excess water and methanol
in the biodiesel. The results of the test classified the watermelon biodiesel
within limits set for biodiesel’s properties by ISO 14214 specifications on
Biodiesel.
