Biodiesel Production from Human Faeces via Soxhlet Extraction with Hexane and Transesterification Reaction

W. Ivwurie & D. Odiganma · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2020

Oil/lipid was extracted from a primary sewage sludge by soxhlet extraction using n-hexane as the solvent. The extracted oil was then converted to biodiesel using transesterification process. The physicochemical properties of the oil/lipids and biodiesel were then determined and c...

The Production of Biodiesel from Sewage Sludge Via Soxlet Extraction Using Hexane and Ethyl Acetate in Ratio 2:1 As the Organic Solvent and Transesterification Reaction

W. Ivwurie & B. Okoro · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2020

The Lipid/oil was extracted from reduced dried primary sewage sludge particle using soxhlet extraction method with Hexane and Ethyl Acetate in the ratio 2:1 as the extracting solvent. The extracted oil gave 15.03% percentage yield with density of 0.845 g/ml, pH value of 8.97, spe...
