CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Due to the modernization to our country, there were new things that are added in the basic necessities of an individual, one of this is fuel. Since fuel can be afford in a high price, some people afford fuel. To resolve this problem, we need to find abundant and renewable source of fuel that is low cost. The project entitled “ETHANOL FUEL from BANANA PEELINGS” can help to solve this problem. This project will give us knowledge on how to make ethanol fuel from banana peelings that is renewable, easy to make, eco-friendly and can be afford in a low price.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

This study is done to give importance to banana peeling. The research wanted to produce Ethanol Fuel out of Banana Peelings. Since Banana is abundant here in are municipality there will be a high number of peelings. The researchers wanted to know the effectivity of the banana peelings as Ethanol fuel.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

This study only focuses on the potential of Banana peelings as an ethanol fuel and answers the questions generally: 1. How can we make Ethanol fuel from Banana (Musa acuminata) Peelings?

Specifically, it aims to answer the following questions: 1. Does the Ethanol gas from Banana Peelings have the same quality as the commercial ones? 2. What properties does Banana Peelings contain for the production of fuel?

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This project plan is important because it reveals the potential of Banana peelings used as Ethanol fuel.

Likewise this study can give all of us knowledge on how to make ethanol fuel out of Banana Peelings.

SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

This study focuses only on Ethanol fuel from Banana peelings. The study was conducted at Bayorbor National High School and the Researcher’s house at Barangay Nangkaan, Mataas na kahoy, Batangas.

OBJECTIVES:

* To make an Ethanol fuel out of Banana Peelings that is cheap *

    Throughout the process of researching the ripening of bananas, it is found that storing bananas in different environmental temperatures will greatly affect the ethylene enzymes within the bananas. The different storage methods of the bananas will greatly affect the overall ripening of the bananas due to lack of oxygen, or to the un-predictable acts of nature. Thus, we can infer that the bananas in the plastic bags will surpass the other subjects due to the restriction of ethylene gas from reaching the rest of the fruit and prematurely ruining the texture and quality of the…

    This study attempts to make a kind of diesel additive that can be used for the production of bio-diesel. The study uses an extraction of oil from the nipa palm tree scientifically known as nipa fructicosa or nipa fructucans and locally known as sasa and mixed with a proportionate amount of diesel to produce a form of bio-diesel. The nipa palm tree (nipa fructicosa) is found along the tidal streams, brackish swamps and muddy banks throughout the Philippines.…

    Ethanol is generally produced by the fermentation of sugar, cellulose or converted starch and has along history. In Nigeria, local production of ethanol from maze, guinea corn, millet, cassava and cellulose is as old as the country itself. Apart from food and pharmaceutical uses, ethanol is finding itself alternative uses for biofuel in most of the developed world for the reasons: it is not poisonous, it does not cause air pollution or any environmental hazard, it does not contribute to the green house effect problem (CO2 addition to the atmosphere causing global warming), it has a higher octane rating than petrol as a fuel. That is, ethanol is an octane booster and anti-knocking agent, it is an excellent raw material for synthetic chemicals, ethanol provides jobs and economic development in rural areas, it reduces country’s dependence on petroleum and it is a source of non-oil revenue for any producing country, ethanol is capable of reducing the adverse, foreign trade balance.…

    The purpose of this experiment is to find an alternate fuel source that is more renewable that petroleum yet requires little change to the currently existing fuel infrastructure. An important part of any alternative fuel is that it must be cheaper to mass produce than gasoline or else it has lost a major advantage over petroleum. A promising alternative fuel source is biodiesel. Unlike ethanol, biodiesel can be used as a blend or pure biodiesel in standard diesel engines with little to no adaptations. It also burns a lot cleaner than petro diesel and can extend the life of the engine drastically.…

    A reflux apparatus was assembled with a water-cooled condenser and a drying tube. Isopentyl alcohol, glacial acid sulfuric acid is added to a 25 milliliter round bottom flask and attached to the reflux apparatus. The mixture was boiled, the extracted first using water followed by aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The mixture was dried using anhydrous granular sodium sulfate. After dried, the sample was placed in a distillation apparatus and heated. This resulted in 1.8g of pure isopentyl acetate, a 44% yield.…
