Abstract:
The demand for biofuels currently exceeds the supply. This investigation focused on the potential to produce biodiesel from oil extracted from garbage. Several sources of food waste were investigated in the United States and in Vietnam, and the oil content ranged from about 10% to nearly 30% of the dry mass. Conditions were optimized for preparation of biodiesel from the food waste oil. It was also found that the solid residue, after oil extraction, has a caloric value similar to that of brown coal, and thus is a potential source of solid fuel.
