There is a growing recognition that using of biodiesel in large commercial systems based on sustainability, existing resources and residues can help to natural resources. Tobacco seed oil (TSO) is also used for biodiesel production as a non-edible vegetable oil. A crude oil was obtained from tobacco seeds (TS) and then tobacco seed oil methyl ester-TSOME (biodiesel) was obtained by a transesterification process. In this study, we aimed to achieve optimal biodiesel properties based on different factors using multi response Taguchi method and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). The purpose of the process was to meet a European Biodiesel Standard EN 14214. Properties of the biodiesel (responses) were determined as methyl ester quantity, kinematic viscosity, density, flash point of methyl ester and freezing point of methyl ester. The factors (production parameters) were chosen such as catalyst type, alcohol/oil molar ratio, reaction temperature and catalyst amount for experiment design. The factors that influenced the desired properties were determined using MANOVA. The factors’ level was obtained using a multi response Taguchi method. We found that catalyst type and catalyst amount have a significant effect on the responses and their levels must be level 1(KOH) and level 3 (1.5%) respectively. Thereby the methods provided to produce biodiesel meet requirements of the standard with minimum cost and in short time.

The limited fossil reserves, spiraling price and environmental impact due to usage of fossil fuels leads the world wide researchers’ interest in using alternative renewable and environment safe fuels that can meet the energy demand. Biodiesel is an emerging renewable alternative fuel to conventional diesel which can be produced from both edible and non-edible oils, animal fats, algae etc. The society is in dire need of using renewable fuels as an immediate control measure to mitigate the pollution level. In this work an attempt is made to review the requisite and access the capability of the biodiesel in improving the environmental degradation.

Glycerol as a byproduct of biodiesel production was approximately formed 10% of the biodiesel weight. Impurities which contained in the glycerol such as catalyst, soap, methanol, water, salt, and matter organic non glycerol (MONG) have a significant effect on the glycerol concentration. So, it is necessary to treat the impurities. The purpose of this study is to know the effect of chloroform to glycerol purification process with acidification method using hydrochloric acid as pretreatment process. This research was begun with acid addition to the glycerol to neutralize the base content and to split the soap content into free fatty acid and salt, that are more easily separated from glycerol. Then the process was continued with extraction by the solvent chloroform using the variable of test volume ratio (v/v) (1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2)  and the extraction time (20, 40, and 60 minutes). The results showed that the more volume of solvent used, gave less extraction time to produce high purity of glycerol. The highest purity produced in this study amounted to 90,9082% is obtained at the ratio of the volume solvent (v/v) 1:1 with extraction time 60 minutes.
