Abstract: The present investigation aims to solve the twin problem of environmental pollution due to vegetable oil refinery waste and the need for an alternate fuel source. The main aim of this work is to find a solution to the mounting problem of vegetable oil refinery industry waste disposal, for which the vegetable oil refinery waste is converted in to biodiesel in usable fuel. In transesterification technique, breaking the molecule structure are accomplished with help alcohol and catalyst. In this investigation streamlined the catalyst, alcohol and response time for biodiesel production by transesterification process. The biodiesel is derived from vegetable oil refinery waste (Sunflower acid oil). Amid the transesterification method, menthol and ethanol were utilized with Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), Potassium hydroxide (KOH), and Sodium peroxide (Na2O2) as a catalyst. The results demonstrate the higher yield acquired utilizing ethanol with KOH impetus in all oil. The ethanol created higher yield of oil is acquired in 620 ml with ideal catalyst is 15g of KOH and 2ml of Sulphuric acid (H2SO4). The least response time got in response Na2O2.
