Abstract

The demand for biodiesel as a sustainable and renewable alternative fuel for diesel engines is
steadily increasing due to economic and
environmental reasons. Biodiesel can be obtained from vegetable oils (both edible and non- edibl
e) and from animal fat. The synthesis of biodiesel via transesterification of clove biodiesel oil wa
s investigated. Crude
clove oil was subjected to purification, then transesterification using methanol and NaOH. FTIR
characterization was employed to determine the functional group (presence of biodiesel) of crude, purified and transesterified Clove oil. The FT-IR shows that the ester was produced between
723.10354 cm−1 and 1740.66677 cm−1 peaks in the transesterified sample. This signifies the
production of biodiesel.
