CHARACTERISTICS OF BIODIESEL FROM WASTE COOKING OIL

Waste cooking oil is applied as a raw material of biodiesel because it has the characteristics of diesel fuel. This research was carried out based on American Standard Testing and Material Methods. Results showed that Density at 15oC was 878.4 kg/m3 (ASTM D. 4052-15), Kinematic Viscosity at 50oC was 3.608 cSt (ASTM D. 445-14), Sulfur Content 0.015% wt (ASTM D. 4294-16), Pour Point + 6oC (ASTM D.97-16), Flash Point 40.50C (ASTM D. 93-16a), Condradson Carbon Residue 0.02% wt (ASTM D. 4530-15), Calorific Value Gross 16592 BTU/lb (ASTM D. 240-14), Water Content 1000 mg/kg (ASTM D. 6304-16) and Total Acid Number 0.08 Mg KOH/g (ASTMD. 664-11a).
