TY - JOUR AB - The main purpose of this research work was production of biodiesel from trichilia emetic seeds by in-situ transesterification. The process was studied at reaction temperature 80 degrees C and reaction time 100min. The physico-chemical parameters of the biodiesel were checked by ASTM D 6751 standards. In this study, copper strip corrosion, kinematic viscosity, cloud point, ash content have 1 a, 5.44mm(2)/s, 18 degrees C and 0.062% respectively. These values satisfy the quality criteria of biodiesel set by ASTM D6751. However, the flash point and the acid values of biodiesel don't meet the quality criteria set by ASTM D6751, due to the presence of unreacted (residual) alcohol and residual mineral acids from the production process respectively. In other words, 60% the physico-chemical properties of the biodiesel satisfies the quality criteria set by ASTM D6751 and pretreatment of the seeds is necessary to increases the quality of biodiesel.
