This research is focused on the effect of processing parameters such as molar ratio of
sample to solvent (1:3-1:15), catalyst loading (0.5-2.5 wt %), temperature (40-80 ï‚°C) and time
of reaction (5-180 min) on the transesterification yield of waste cooking oil (WCO) in
conventional thermal heating and microwave heating techniques. The analysis carried out
revealed that the microwave assisted transesterification produced a comparable yield to
conventional heating transesterification with ~5 times faster in heating up the reaction
mixture to a reaction temperature and reduced ~90% of the reaction time required. This
study concludes that microwave assisted transesterification, which is a green technology,
may have great potential in reducing the processing time compared to conventional
thermal heating transesterification.
