Abstract

Current study describes the optimization of time line kinetics for the base catalyzed transesterification of Eruca sativa oil for biodiesel production. Monitoring of transesterification was carried out using high performance liquid chromatography whereas optimization of kinetic was performed with the help of MATLAB-7. The observed order in terms of rate constants for the forward base catalyzed transesterification reactions of Eruca sativa oil was k3 > k2 > k1 whereas for the backward reactions the order of rate constant was k-3 > k-1 > k-2.
