Over the years, the enormous increase in fossil fuels has resulted in increased greenhouse gas emissions which in turn resulted in many environmental concerns. So many studies were carried out to find an alternative for the conventional fossil fuels. Biofuels like bioethanol, biodiesel and so on are such fuels which can be vital substitute for the conventional fossil fuels. Biodiesel which is defined as monoalkyl esters of long chain fatty acids can be used as an alternative conventional Petro diesel fuel. It’s usually produced from vegetable oils, animal fats, or lipids which are commonly called as triglycerides (TG). But use of edible sources for biofuel production has created concerns regarding food security. Thus, using a nonedible source might help to overcome the food security problems and enhances the efficient biodiesel production. One of the such sources include Phyllanthus emblica(Amla) seeds which could be a potential feedstock for biodiesel production.( Ullah, K, Ahmad, M, Qureshi, F A, Qamar, R., Sharma, V K, Sultana, S, Zafar, M (2015). Synthesis and characterization of biodiesel from Aamla oil: A promoting non-edible oil source for bioenergy industry. Fuel Processing Technology, 133, 173–182.). Mwaurah, P. W, Kumar, S, Kumar N, Attkan, A K, Panghal, A, Singh, V K, Garg, M K, (2020). Novel oil extraction technologies: Process conditions, quality parameters, and optimization. Comprehensive reviews in food science and food safety, 19(1), 3–20 reported the novel oil extraction methods for efficient oil extraction from oil seeds. Transesterification is the process involved in the production of biodiesel from oils. Conventionally, this process involves use of methanol and acid or base catalyst and will result in production of glycerine along with the biodiesel. Initially glycerine was in great demand, but owing to increase in production of biodiesel, the demand got decreased and prices began to fall. So, glycerol free production will help to overcome this problem. Using Dimethyl carbonate instead of methanol is a way of producing biodiesel without glycerol formation and results in formation of glycerol carbonate which has a higher market value at present. Transesterification with DMC will result in formation of Fatty acid methyl esters (Biodiesel), Fatty acid glycerol carbonate monoesters (FAGC) which is soluble in FAME and capable of producing more FAME and GDC by reacting with DMC in subsequent steps thereby increasing the yield of biodiesel. Glycerol dicarbonate (GDC) is not explored but GDC can be decomposed to GC in the presence of water, which is highly used in making of polymers, electrolytes and so many industrially important products (Celante, D, Schenkel, J V, D, de Castilhos, F (2018). Biodiesel production from soybean oil and dimethyl carbonate catalyzed by potassium methoxide. Fuel, 212, 101–107). Catalyst plays an important role in biodiesel production. There are four major types of catalyst that are being used for production of biodiesel. They are homogenous catalyst, heterogenous catalyst, biocatalyst and nanocatalyst. Of these, homogenous catalysts are highly efficient for conversion of oils with low free fatty acid (FFA) content. But, for oils with high FFA content, it leads to soap formation and separation is difficult since biodiesel and catalyst are of same phase. Owing to these drawbacks, heterogenous catalyst which are easy to separate from the biodiesel have been using over the past decade. In a review by Rizwanul Fattah, I M, Ong, H.C, Mahlia, T M. I, Mofijur, M, Silitonga, A S, Rahman, S A, Ahmad, A, (2020). State of the art of catalysts for biodiesel production. Frontiers in Energy Research, 8, 101, it was reported that heterogenous catalyst will help in overcoming some disadvantages imposed by the homogenous catalysts. They also reported that biocatalyst has lower reaction rate and nanocatalyst are too expensive to produce and use for biodiesel production. Thus, developing the highly selective heterogenous catalyst will help in sustainable production of biodiesel. According to Astuti, E, Mufrodi, Z, Budiarti, G I, Dewi, A. C (2020). Active Charcoal from Palm Kernel Shells as a Catalyst in The Production of Biodiesel. Jurnal Bahan Alam Terbarukan, 9(2), 120–125, activated charcoal can be used as a heterogenous catalyst in the biodiesel production. It is not sensitive to high FFA content and can be easily separated from the biodiesel. In this study, the amla seeds were used to produce the biodiesel by using DMC instead of methanol and activated charcoal as heterogenous catalyst.
