Biodiesel is an eco-friendly, alternative diesel fuel prepared from domestic renewable resources i.e. mainly produced from vegetable oils and animal fats. It is a renewable energy source that appears to be the perfect answer to the world's energy needs, especially those of Ethiopia. The aim of present study was to evaluate the physicochemical characterization and production of biodiesel from cottonseed oil and waste cooking oil. Transesterification of edible and non-edible oil with methanol in the presence of strong acid or base catalysts is the standard process for creating biodiesel. The percent yield of cottonseed crude oil was found to be 62.98 % upon the extraction from the cotton seeds. After food residues and sediments were removed using chemical coagulation with 2% Al2SO4 as a coagulating agent and gravitational sedimentation, approximately 90.24 percent of the oil was recovered. The physicochemical parameters of oils and its biodiesel were performed and the experimental results such as moisture content (0.32% and 0.27%), specific gravity (0.86-0.9258), viscosity (4.1-65mm2/sec), saponification value (56.1-182.3 mg/g), Iodine value (51.74-120.53 mgI2/g), Acid value (0.30-0.50 mg/g), free fatty acid content ¬¬¬(0.23-1.9%), cetane number (74.6-137.56) and higher heat values (40.87-48.94 MJ/kg) are good agreement with ASTM standards. In conclusion, the result of recent study confirmed that the cottonseed oil and waste cooking oil derived biodiesel is an alternative renewable biofuel for petro-diesel with an eco-friendly.
