Waste cooking oil is considered as the most suitable material due to its readily-availability and cost-effectiveness. In this study, the transesterification of waste canola cooking oil was carried out using lower alcohol to oil molar ratios to study its feasibility. Molar ratio of

The highest biodiesel yield was obtained (49.5%) under conditions of 1:1volumetric oil-to-methanol weight ratio, 0.5% NaOH catalyst at 55°C reaction temperature and 250 rpm stirring speed. The results showed that biodiesel production from different oil to methanol ratio, catalyst types and concentration exhibited considerable differences. There was little difference in

The result showed that the optimal combination which gave the highest production of biodiesel in transesterification carried out for 2 hours by using methanol to oil molar ratio of 1:1 catalyzed by 0.5%
