This study presents a green process to synthesize biodiesel using biosynthesized nano-catalyst and a novel methodology for analyzing the impact of influencing factors – methanol/oil ratio, the concentration of nano-catalyst, temperature, and time of reactions- on the yield of biodiesel obtained by heterogeneous nano-catalyst-based transesterification reaction. Nano-calcium oxide (nano-CaO) was obtained as a heterogeneous nano-catalyst using waste eggshells. Waste cooking oil was treated with methanol and nano-catalyst at varying methanol: oil ratios (4 – 14:1), nano-catalyst concentration (0.5 – 2 %), time of reaction (3 – 4.5 hrs), and temperature (50 – 65 ◦C). The superiority and effectiveness of the proposed transesterification indices were accomplished making use of Deluca and Termini fuzzy entropy weighted indexes to obtain optimal reaction conditions with 95.49 % biodiesel yield.

Представлен экологически чистый процесс синтеза биодизельного топлива с использованием биосинтетического нанокатализатора. Описана новая методология анализа факторов, влияющих на выход биодизельного топлива, получаемого гетерогенной реакцией переэтерификации на основе нанокатализатора – соотношения метанол/нефть, концентрации нанокатализатора, температуры и времени реакции. Наноразмерные частицы оксида кальция (нано-СаО) были получены в качестве гетерогенного нанокатализатора с использованием отходов яичной скорлупы. Отработанное кулинарное масло обрабатывали метанолом и нанокатализатором при различных соотношениях метанол:масло (4 – 14:1), концентрации нанокатализатора (0.5 – 2 %), времени реакции (3 – 4.5 часа) и температуре (50 – 65 °С). Превосходство и эффективность предложенных индексов переэтерификации были достигнуты с использованием нечетких энтропийно-взвешенных индексов Делука и Термини для получения оптимальных условий реакции с выходом биодизеля 95.49%.
