Biodiesel is one of diesel fuel alternative made from renewable resources such as vegetable oils and animal fats. One of the natural ingredients that can be used as a material in the production of biodiesel is waste cooking oil (WCO). Biodiesel from WCO can be made through a transesterification reaction using a CaO catalyst. Free fatty acid (FFA) content in WCO needs to be reduced by activated charcoal adsorption. This research aims to determine the optimum time of adsorption by activated charcoal that made from salak peel and to determine the effect of transesterification temperature on biodiesel yield. The results showed that the FFA content of WCO decrease from 6.16% to 0.224% with adsorption time is 80 minutes and 10 gram of activated charcoal. Biodiesel yield increase by increasing transesterification temperature. The appropriate temperature is 50oC with 86.40% of yield, 887.2 kg/m3of density, 5.174 mm2/s of kinematic viscosity and acid number 0.421 mg KOH/gram sample. The composition of alkyl ester was obtained 65.54% with a FAAE yield of 56.63%.

Vegetable oil is considered as one among the promising alternatives for diesel fuel as it holds properties very close to diesel fuel. However, straight usage of vegetable oil in compression ignition (CI) engine resulted in inferior performance and emission behavior. This can be improved by modifying the straight vegetable oil into its esters, emulsion, and using them as a fuel in CI engine showcased an improved engine behavior. Waste cooking oil (WCO) is one such kind of vegetable oil gained a lot of attraction globally as it is generated in a large quantity locally. The present investigation aims at analyzing various parameters of single cylinder four stroke CI engine fueled with waste cooking oil biodiesel (WCOB), waste cooking oil biodiesel water emulsion (WCOBE) while the engine is operated with a constant speed of 1500 rpm. Furthermore, an attempt is made to study the impact of nanofluids in the behavior of the engine fueled with WCOB blended with nanofluids (WCOBN50). This work also explored a novel method of producing nanofluids using one-step chemical synthesis method. Copper oxide (CuO) nanofluids were prepared by the above mentioned method and blended with waste cooking oil biodiesel (WCOBN50) using ethylene glycol as a suitable emulsifier. Results revealed that brake thermal efficiency (BTE) and brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) of WCOBN50 are significantly improved when compared to WCOB and WCOBE. Furthermore, a higher reduction in oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC), and smoke emissions were observed with WCOBN50 on comparison with all other tested fuels at different power outputs. It is also identified that one-step chemical synthesis method is a promising technique for preparing nanofluids with a high range of stability.

In the recent wake of escalating crude oil prices due to depletion of fossil fuel, biodiesel has generated a significant interest as an alternative fuel for the future. The use of biodiesel to fuel microturbines or gas turbine application is envisaged to solve problems of diminishing supplies of fossil fuel reserves and environmental concerns. This paper examines the combustion of biodiesel derived from Malaysian Waste Cooking Oil (WCO) in a combustion test facility to study the feasibility of using the designated fuel at five various volumetric ratios for gas turbine application. Biodiesel was produced from waste cooking oil in Malaysia, mainly from palm oil sources and animal fats. The oil burner was able to fire the five blends of fuel without any modification or pretreatment. The combustion performance of Malaysian WCO biodiesel and distillate blends was examined with respect to the combustion efficiency. The results indicated biodiesel combustion required less air for stoichiometric combustion due to presence of oxygen in the fuel. Indeed biodiesel stand as a potential alternative fuel for power generation application with the best efficiency at blended ratio of 20% biodiesel and 80% distillate.

Minyak bekas pakai (jelantah) merupakan minyak tumbuhan yang sudah digunakan untuk menggoreng. Penggunaan minyak bekas pakai mengakibatkan nilai ekonomis minyak tersebut turun dibanding minyak yang belum digunakan. Disamping itu, dengan sifat karsinogenik minyak bekas pakai sangat berbahaya bagi tubuh. Pemanfaatan minyak jelantah belum dilakukan secara optimal, karena banyaknya minyak bekas pakai yang sudah beberapa kali digunakan oleh restoran, kemudian setelahnya hanya dibuang begitu saja, tidak dimanfaatkan untuk produk lainnya. Proses pembuatan pengharum ruangan dari minyak goreng jelantah menjadi alternatif penyelesaian masalah yang patut dipertimbangkan. Pada pembuatan pengharum ruangan, minyak bekas pakai ini digunakan sebagai pengganti natural oil, yakni bahan utama untuk pengharum. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat melalui penyuluhan pembuatan pengharum ruangan dari minyak jelantah, dilakukan terhadap Ibu-ibu PKK Perumahan Pamulang Park Residence, Pamulang Barat, Kota Tangerang, Banten. Penyuluhan dilakukan dengan metode ceramah dan demo langsung di depan peserta kegiatan. Hasil yang diperoleh dari kegiatan ini adalah peserta dengan rasa suka cita ikut serta dalam demo kegiatan pembuatan minyak bekas pakai (jelantah) untuk pengharum ruangan. Peserta pun merasa senang karena bertambahnya pengetahuan tentang pemanfaatan minyak jelantah. Harapannya dengan melakukan kegiatan penyuluhan ini, maka Ibu - Ibu PKK pada perumahan tersebut dapat ikut serta dalam upaya meningkatkan daya saing wilayahnya dengan memanfaatkan minyak jelantah. Kata kunci: Limbah Minyak Jelantah, Penyuluhan, Pengharum Ruangan, ABDIMAS, Ibu-ibu PKK ABSTRACT The used oil (waste cooking oil) is a vegetable oil that has been used for frying. The use of cooking oil affects the economic value of the cooking oil lower than unused oil. Besides that, the carcinogenic nature of used oil is very dangerous for the body. Utilization of used cooking oil has not been carried out optimally, because of the amount of used oil that has been used several times by restaurants, and afterward only available just like that, is not used for other products. The process of making room air freshener from used cooking oil becomes an alternative solution to the problem raised. In the manufacture of air fresheners, used oil is used as a substitute for natural oils, which are the main ingredients for fragrances. Community service activities through counseling on the manufacture of air freshener made from used cooking oil were carried out on PKK women in Pamulang Park Residence, Pamulang Barat, Tangerang City, Banten. Counseling was conducted using the lecture and demo method directly in front of the activity participants. The results obtained from this activity were participants who liked to take part in the demonstration of used cooking oil (waste cooking oil) for air freshener. The participants were happy because they were adding knowledge about the use of used cooking oil. It is hoped that by conducting this outreach activity, PKK ladies in this housing can participate in efforts to improve the competitiveness of their region by using used cooking oil.

Cooking oil is a vegetable oil as a glyceride compound from various fatty acids. Cooking oil can be used up to 3-4 times for cooking. If cooking oil is used repeatedly, the fatty acids will be more saturated and can change color. The waste cooking oil is said to have been damaged and is not good for consumption and can pollute the environment. Appropriate technology is a technology designed for a particular society to be adapted to environmental, political, cultural, social, and economics aspects. The purpose of appropriate technology is to be able to save money, be easy to maintain, and minimize costs to the community. The appropriate technology in this study aims to facilitate the production process of making soap or can also achieve the desired goals effectively in a place or production. The results of this research are mixer and soap products, which are mixers made from used materials to be used as soap making tools. For the processing of soap products, cooking oil waste is used, which is known that the cost of production per soap bar is Rp578.00. Researchers sell it at a price of Rp1,000.00. The Break Event Point (BEP) value is 200 bars of soap per year or Rp200,000.00. Net Present Value (NPV) in 4 years is Rp9,498,061.00, and the Return of Investment (ROI) from the payback period is 0.9 months.

In the developed countries, waste cooking oil has proven to be a problematic material since people usually pour waste cooking oil into the kitchen drainage because they unaware that this waste can be recycled. In this study, the waste cooking oil was converted into polymer, fabricated by using hot compression machine and named as waste biopolymer (WB). WB characteristics before and after UV-irradiated such as vibration damping, density and surface morphology were analysed in this study. Total damping ratio of WB changes more than 5% after 1000 hour UV-irradiation. UV-irradiation does not give major influence to the WB morphology since there is no big change for overall structure of UV-irradiated WB after 1000 hours of UV. Even though the density of UV-irradiated WB is decreasing with increasing exposure time to UV, but it gives good influence to the damping ratio. WB is expected to have a good service life even in a harsh UV environment thus it can be applied in many applications especially in automotive field and manufacturing packaging.

Biodiesel is a renewable energy resource consisting of the alkyl monoesters of fatty acids obtained from vegetable oils, waste cooking oils, or animal fats. Biodiesel has been noticed recently as an alternative to fossil fuels. Previous studies have shown that biodiesel produces less pollutants compared to diesel fuel. Biodiesel fuel increases the emission of NOx exceptionally. Recently, it has been found that antioxidant addition to biodiesel is a solution to solve the problem. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of antioxidants addition on the emissions of CO, HC, and NOx from biodiesel fuel. Exhaust emissions of an agriculture diesel engine were studied using biodiesel blend with a 500 ppm propyl gallate (PrG) (propyl-3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate) and butylated hydroxy anisole (BhA) (2-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol) as two major antioxidants. Biodiesel used in this research was prepared through NaOH catalyzed transesterification of a waste cooking oil that originally was taken from sunflower oil, with the assistance of ultrasonic homogenizer. After biodiesel production, five blends including neat diesel, B10, B20, B20 + 500 ppm PrG, and B20+ 500 ppm BhA were used as fuel and the emitted gases were analyzed. The results of this work demonstrated that the addition of antioxidants has no significant effect on lowering CO emission, as well as lowering HC; but the addition of antioxidants results in more efficient reduction of NOx emission from diesel exhaust. In general, BhA showed better results compared to PrG.
