The Present work aims to produce of biodiesel from Moringa oleifera by Thermochemical conversion (TCC) and purification, utilization of glycerol. 30% (w/w) bio oil and high yield of biodiesel was achieved by the TCC process. The execution of biodiesel was expanded by the mixes with butanol-diesel (Biodiesel+Butanol+Disesl) in various extents. The obtained biodiesel and its blends were characterised by ASTM. Crude glycerols were obtained as a by-product from the methyl ester of Moringa oleifera seeds. H3PO4, H2SO4, HCl and HNO3 were used for the purification of crude glycerol. Purified glycerol was characterised by the density, alkalinity, ash content, Moisture content, FT-IR etc. study confirmed the purification and formation of glycerol.
