摘要: Thermal and gaseous emissions of biodiesel feed-stocks: sandbox tree, fluted pumpkin, black date wild melon whose potentials as fuels have been established in the earlier works Igbum et al. (2012) were evaluated order to ascertain establish their environmental emission impacts on local global environment. Effects blending ratios thermal/gaseous from seed oils also investigated. The study involved extraction seeds using petroleum ether a soxhlet apparatus, transesterification with methanol at ratio 6:1 sodium hydroxide catalyst, reaction temperatures 30°C 55°C time five minutes. Thereafter, methyl esters blended automotive gas oil (AGO)
