Abstract

One billion liters of biodiesel are thought to be the potential market size in South Africa (SA). To build a stable and expanding market for biodiesel in SA, government regulations and policies are necessary while proactive steps are needed, particularly in the area of creative efforts that can help lower the cost of biodiesel production down to a respectable level. Converting wastes into products is an example of these creative efforts alluded to in the statement before. Thus, it is suggested that the potential for turning two categories of wastes into product and their effects on SA’s biodiesel industry’s economics be studied. The utilization of waste cooking oil (WCO) as a feedstock for the production of biodiesel in this study will be the first category of waste conversion to product. The transesterification process of converting WCO to biodiesel, using mullite-rich tailings (MRT) from density-separated waste copper dust, will be the second category of waste conversion to product. These concepts were prompted as a result of the fact that the use of edible oil to produce biodiesel could potentially lead to a diminution of the oil available as food for both humans and farm animals. Also, the idea to manufacture and characterize hydrotalcite-derived material (HDM) from waste metal dust for the transesterification of WCO to biodiesel utilizing MRT as starting material results from the fact that producing HDM from pure chemicals is expensive. Hence, the proposed study.
