| Zusammenfassung: | Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. The current study aims to attain a higher yield of biodiesel from Bauhinia tree seed wastes through process optimization using response surface methodology (RSM) and assess its compatibility in the diesel engine blended with water and Di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP). The Bauhinia parviflora biodiesel (BPB) transesterification originated using a fixed quantity of catalyst, and the transesterification process parameters such as oil-molar ratio (OMR), process temperature (PT), and reaction time (RT) were optimized. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)analysis were applied to characterize and quantify the BPB, and ASTM standards were followed to measure the properties. The prepared BPB (30%) was blended with 10% water and 2% BTBP to enhance the performance and emission characteristics of the BPB in the diesel engine. The optimization result implies that the higher yield of BPB (91.4%) was attained for OMR of 9.2:1, PT of 76 °C, and RT of 67 min. The FTIR report indicates that the carbon-based components are pretty good in the prepared BPB. The GC-MS report indicates that the fatty acids are converted into corresponding methyl esters, and the measured fuel properties are within the prescribed limits. The diesel engine's performance is effectively improved for the BPB blended with water and DTBP. The proposed fuel's overall improvement in hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, smoke, and oxides of nitrogen emissions is 27.2%, 34.9%, 16.7%, and 11.2%, respectively |
