Biodiesel production from waste fish oil with high free fatty acid content from Moroccan fish-processing industries
Moroccan waste fish oil was used as raw material to produce the biodiesel in this study. The biodiesel sample is achieved by a dual step esterification-transesterification acid-base to reduce the higher FFAs content of fish oil after a rapid method of purification. It is characterized by techniques...

| description | Moroccan waste fish oil was used as raw material to produce the biodiesel in this study. The biodiesel sample is achieved by a dual step esterification-transesterification acid-base to reduce the higher FFAs content of fish oil after a rapid method of purification. It is characterized by techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and the Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). The experimental results showed that biodiesel produced from waste fish oil contained a significantly greater amount of methyl ester group in the biodiesel sample. The GC/MS results showed the presence of a good quantity of palmitic acid, oleic acid and linolenic acid which are essential biodiesel components. The biodiesel did not contain any trace of glycerol and it did meet international standards. Keywords: Fish oil, Purification, Biodiesel, Alternative fuel, Esterification, Transesterification |
