Biodiesel is generally believed to be the fuel to replace fossil fuel which has impacted the environment adversely. High pump price of biodiesel is one of the reasons why it is yet to replace petrol diesel. Edible seed oil and homogenous nature of the catalysts used are some of the reasons for the high cost of biodiesel. Some of the best ways to reduce the cost of the production of biodiesel are through the use of non-food oils, and heterogeneous catalyst in biodiesel production. This research examined the use of Hydnocapus weightiana seed oil (Non –food feedstock) in biodiesel production using methanol and Pila globosa sea snail shells as the heterogeneous catalyst. One step transesterification was used to produce the biodiesel. Four processes variables were optimized, Agitation speed 800rmp, reaction temperature 60°C, catalyst concentration (2.00 wt%) and reaction time (70 min). The catalyst was rich in Calcium oxide (CaO) and CaO4Te. The reversible second-order reaction of the transesterification of the oil was followed in the reaction. Kinetic modeling of the biodiesel production process was used to determine the reaction sequence and the rate constant which showed that the activation energy of the methyl ester production was 43KJ/mol. The fuel properties of the produced biodiesel compared with ASTM standard showed that most of the properties determined from the biodiesel were all within the standard. The re- usability of the heterogeneous catalyst was accessed under same experimental conditions and it was found that the catalyst is still active after 4th and 5th runs. Pila globosa sea snail shell is proven to be a potential raw material for catalyst used in transesterification of FFA (Free fatty acid) from oils. Hydnocapus weightiana seed oil is also a potentially feed stock for biodiesel production.
