Abstract: This study presented the
preparation of Biodiesel B100 from waste fatty acid by
heterogeneous catalysis process and the evaluation of
the properties of B10, B20 blends. Efficiency of
esterification of waste fatty acid into B100 was 98.91%
over 3 cycles. Biodiesel B100 was satisfactory according
to ASTM D6751, the American biodiesel standard. These
methyl esters can be used to substitute diesel. However,
the methyl esters obtained from waste fatty acid had a
low oxidative stability and high cloud point. Therefore,
with a high percentage of biodiesel (10รท20%), it is
necessary to add additives into the blends for changing
these disadvantages in accordance with ASTM D 7467
