Abstract
This study examines the potential of nanoparticles to investigate the transesterification reaction of non-edible taramira oil (TMO) for efficient biodiesel synthesis. The barium ferrite nanoparticles (BaFe₁₂O₁₉) were synthesized and calcined at 700 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed a cubic spinel nanostructure, indicating the pure-phase barium ferrite nanoparticles with an average size of 44 nm. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed the presence of metal-oxide bonds, as evidenced by bands at 540–615 cm⁻¹. The SEM images showed the grain size of barium hexaferrite nanorods between 40 nm to 60 nm. The synthesized barium ferrite nanoparticle-based taramira oil biodiesel (BTMBD) was confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy through characteristic C=O stretching peaks at 1738.24 cm⁻¹. The maximum yield of 91.5 % of BTMBD (biodiesel) was achieved at (TMO) to methanol of 1:12 molar ratio, 2 % barium ferrite nanoparticles concentration, 60 ºC of reaction temperature, and 120 minutes of reaction time. In conclusion, the current barium ferrite nanoparticles have the potential to aid as a potent nanocatalyst to produce biodiesel, demonstrating their role in the current energy crisis solution, and could be utilized for large-scale biodiesel production.
