Ecofuel from Waste Engine Oil

Abstract

The project is mainly about extraction of Eco fuel from waste engine oil and using the same for making aromatic lamp by adding methanolic extract of Camphor. Four 100ml conical flasks were taken. They were labeled as A,B,C and D. Flasks A and B included waste engine oil, dil. Noah as Catalyst and ethanol in a specific amount, flasks C and D included waste engine oil, yeast as Catalyst (only D with sugar) and ethanol in a fixed quantity. The flasks were kept stable overnight after processing. Next day flasks A and B had a little amount of Eco fuel but on the other hand, flasks C and D had a thick layer of Eco fuel. Also to make aromatic mosquito repellent lamp. An ecofriendly mosquito repellent lamp was prepared and used for slum dwellers. Also we observed that as a byproduct, fats molecules remained behind after Eco fuel production. So, we used those fats for Saponification. The soap that we made was used for cleaning bathrooms. The project was conducted with the authorized validation.
