Biodiesel Presentation

This document discusses converting used cooking oil into biodiesel. It describes how most families improperly dispose of used cooking oil by dumping it down sinks or toilets. It then outlines a simple process to convert the used oil into biodiesel through a chemical reaction involving methanol and potassium hydroxide. The procedures involve heating the oil, adding the chemicals, and separating the biodiesel layer from the glycerin layer. The resulting biodiesel is then washed and dried. The document suggests testing the biodiesel on toy cars to evaluate its quality. Producing biodiesel from waste oil has environmental benefits over disposal since biodiesel burns cleaner and produces fewer emissions.
