To take precautionary measures for the environment to diminish the toxic gases emitted from fossil fuels; an alternative fuel has to replace fossil fuel. Biofuel an alternative fuel can replace the counterpart. In this work, biofuel is synthesized by using a novel organic-inorganic perovskite-based nanocomposite as a catalyst. The synthesized catalyst has been characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The transesterification method is used for biofuel synthesis. Researchers across the globe have mostly synthesized biofuel especially biodiesel by transesterification method where temperature plays a major role in the catalytic reaction. Most of the researchers reported the synthesis of biofuel by using heterogeneous catalysts at higher temperatures which is greater than 60 °C but in this study, the synthesis of biofuel at ambient temperature is attempted under the influence of UV light. The synthesized biofuel is characterized by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GCMS). GCMS signifies the different fatty acid methyl ester compositions present in the biofuel which assured the presence of all the necessary compounds in a biofuel. |
