This communication explores the feasibility of biodiesel production from a weed plant Argemone mexicana seed oil and an efficient catalyst crystalline manganese carbonate. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study making use of pure, crystalline, ash colored manganese carbonate as a heterogeneous catalyst for the production of methyl esters as fuel from Argemone mexicana seed oil. The optimum process conditions for the conversion of Argemone mexicana oil to its methyl ester by transesterification required 1% manganese carbonate as catalyst with alcohol to oil ratio 5:1 at 60°C to yield biodiesel of 99.99% purity. The methyl esters obtained were examined by Gas chromatography analysis.

The study is devoted to transesterification of Guizotia abyssinica seed oil using 1% crystalline manganese carbonate (MnCO3) as catalyst at 60°C giving yield of 95%. Guizotia abyssinica as a nontraditional seed oil obtained from minor oil seed crop was explored for the potential of biodiesel synthesis. An attempt was made to use pure crystalline, ash coloured manganese carbonate as a green catalyst and heterogeneous catalyst for the production of methyl esters as fuel from Guizotia abyssinica seed oil.
