Abstract

Shrimp shell contains 40-50% calcium carbonate so that it can be used as a CaO catalyst in the manufacture of biodiesel using waste cooking oil. High levels of free fatty acid in waste cooking oil can be reduced by the esterification process using an acid catalyst. Biodiesel is produced by transesterification process using a heterogeneous catalyst of calcium oxide (CaO) from shrimp shells calcined at 1000°C for 3 hours. The esterification and transesterification processes are carried out using microwaves. The transesterification process was carried out with a variable weight percent catalyst (0%, 1%, 3%) and microwave power (150 W, 300 W). The characteristics of the biodiesel produced indicate that the parameters of density, flash point, and sentane number have met the standard, while the parameters of viscosity and water content have not met the standard. The yield of biodiesel produced increased along with the increase in the percentage of CaO catalyst concentration of shrimp shell waste and the microwave power used.
