Soap production from waste cooking oil
ABSTRACT
Our project work is carried out with the making of high quality soap from Waste cooking oil.
The soap production needs the step by steps. These are pre-treatment of waste oil, lye solution
preparation, making saponification, purification and drying. That experimentally the prepared
waste material waste treated by using simple filtration method and distillation with in sockletor
having heating mantle ,that contains solid particles and sodium hydroxide salts by characterising
the waste cooking oil and purified oil from 2 litre oil 1 litre treated or pureed oil was gotten. Then
the raw material purified and the process lye solution was continued. Lye solution is prepared from
the proportion of water and sodium hydroxide (1:2 ratio NaOH to H2O) at 80 0C .After lye solution
is prepared saponification reaction (lye solution + pre-treated oil) by the ratio of 1:0.45 pureed oil
to lye solution is reacted at 95 0c and stirred up to the bi product glycerol and product soup is
differentiated, that soup became foam and above the glyceride and glyceride became below the
soap due to density different. Then soap differentiated from glyceride it needs additive such as
sodium chloride, hydrogen per oxide, acetic acid, citric acid, perfume, colorant and other agents.
After many agents added the purification processes occurred and the pure soap concentration
become high and molded and shaped according to the necessary shape. Then after naming the soap
and drying for 2-3 days. The soap quality, determined as a measure of the foam ability of the soap,
the pH tests revealed basic properties, Temperature, its solubility and the color of the soap were
improved with the addition of bleaching agent. The project is economically feasibility with payback
period is less than five years .therefore our project is feasible.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
The earliest recorded evidence of the production of soap-like materials dates back to around 2800
BC in Ancient Babylon. Inscriptions have been discovered that indicate that the inhabitants boiled
fat with ashes. It has been suggested that the word soap was derived from Mount Sapo, which was a
location for animal sacrifice. Melted animal fats and wood ashes would be washed down from the
mountain and, in the clay along the banks of the River Tiber, a crude soap would form. Carbonate
were dispersed in water, and fat was added to the solution. This mixture was then boiled; ashes
were added again and again as the water evaporated. During this process a slow chemical splitting
of the neutral fat took place; the fatty acids could then react with the alkali carbonates of the plant
ash to form soap (this reaction is called saponification).waste cooking oil containing a percentage
of free fatty acids were used by the Celts. The presence of free fatty acids certainly helped to get
the process started. This method probably prevailed until the end of the middle Ages, when slaked
lime came to be used to causticize the alkali carbonate. Through this process, chemically neutral
fats could be saponified easily with the caustic lye. Around 1790, French soap maker Nicolas
Leblanc developed a method of extracting caustic soda (NaOH) from common table salt (NaCl),
replacing the wood Early soap makers probably used ashes and animal fats. Simple wood or plant
ashes containing potassium ash element of soap. The production of soap from a handicraft to an
industry was helped by the introduction of the Leblanc process for the production of soda ash from
brine (about 1790) and by the work of a French chemist, Michel Eugène Chevreul, who in 1823
showed that the process of saponification is the chemical process of splitting fat into the alkali salt
of fatty acids (that is, soap) and glycerin. The method of producing soap by boiling with open
steam, introduced at the end of the 19th century, was another step toward industrialization, though
people in rural areas, such as the pioneers in the western United States, continued to make soap at
home. In recent years Domieier did a recovery of glycerine from saponification mixture. soap is a
salt of a compound, known as a fatty acid. A soap molecule has a long hydrocarbon chain with a
carboxylic acid group on one end, which has ionic bond with metal ion, usually sodium or
potassium. The hydrocarbon end is non-polar which is highly soluble in nonpolar substances and
the ionic end is soluble in water. The structure of the soap molecule is represented below: The
cleaning action of soaps because of their ability to emulsify or disperse water-insoluble materials

and hold them in the suspension of water. This ability is seen from the molecular structure of soaps.
When soap is added to water that contains oil or other water-insoluble materials, the soap or
detergent molecules surround the oil droplets. The oil is, dissolved in the alkyl groups of the soap
molecules while the ionic end allows it to be dissolved in water. As a result, the oil droplets are to
be dispersed throughout the water and can be washed away.

the ionic end is soluble in water. Soap is integral to our society today, and we find it hard to
imagine a time when people were kept sweet-smelling by the action of perfume rather than soap.
However, the Current widespread use of soap is only a very recent occurrence, despite the fact that
it has been made for more than 2500 years. The first recorded manufacture of soap was in 600BC,
when Pliny the Elder described its manufacture by the Phoenicians from goats tallow and ash, and
it was known among the British Celts and throughout the Roman Empire. However, these people
used their soap medicinally, and it was not until the second century AD that it was used for
cleaning and not until the nineteenth century that it began to be commonly used in the Western
world. Soap is undoubtedly the oldest product to be produced specifically as a surfactant and in its
many forms continues to play a major role today. Within this highly competitive marketplace soap
is presented in a multitude of forms both Solid and liquid. The production of soap from a handicraft
to an industry was helped by the introduction of the Leblanc process for the production of soda ash
from brine (about 1790) and by the work of a French chemist, Michel Eugene Chevruel who in
1823 showed that the process of saponification is the chemical process of splitting fat into the alkali

people in rural areas, such as the pioneers in the western United States, continued to make soap at
home. In recent years Domineer did a recovery of glycerin from saponification mixture.
Throughout the nineteenth century the chemistry of soap-making became better Understood with
the discovery of the different fatty acids present in neutral Fats and oils and this, in turn

1.4.1 Scope
The main scope of this project is to determine the pretreatment, identification and characterization
of waste cooking oil, lye preparation and saponification reaction with addition of agents for solid
soap manufacturing up to the production of high quality solid soap together.
The study is significant in that it will be used as an initial idea to do further detailed researches
regarding to decrease the environmental impacts of the waste and producing a quality Soap
Saving reign currency since the soap is high cost .Can be used as an alternative raw material
for production of soap in Ethiopian soap factor.
1.4.2 Limitation
To achieve our goal there was some sort of problems during such like shortage of time, lack of
internet access. Enough equipment, lack of time and enough laboratories chemical and laboratory
equipment and the interest of help us some laboratory assistance. So it must get solution for next
batch, and also there are carelessness of teachers and Department to activate the students to do
experiment even its document. So such carelessness must be avoided and activate the students for
every experiment and proposals.

CHAPTER TWO
LITERATURE REVIEW
Soap is any compound that results from the reaction of an insoluble fatty material with a metal
radical or even an organic base could be described as soap. If the metal radical is sodium,
potassium or even ammonium, soluble soaps are formed. Where the radical is a heavy metal,
insoluble 'metallic soaps' result and this explains the formation of hard-water scum around the bath
or washbasin caused by calcium or magnesium soaps. Other 'metallic soaps', in which the radical is
zinc, lead, manganese, cobalt or tin, may require a reaction at elevated temperatures or by double
decomposition with sodium or potassium soaps and a salt of the relevant heavy metal. These soaps
have uses in other industries. The basic reaction in soap making between a neutral fat and an
alkali can be represented as follows:
The basic structure of all soaps is essentially the same, consisting of a long hydrophobic (water
fearing) hydrocarbon “tail" and a hydrophilic (water loving) anionic "head"
CH3- CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-C-O-Na+
6|Page
Soap production from waste cooking oil
The length of the hydrocarbon chain ("n") varies with the type of fat or oil but is usually quite long.
The anionic charge on the carboxylate head is usually balanced by either a positively charged
potassium (K+) or sodium (Na+) cation. In making soap, triglycerides in fat or oils are heated in the
presence of a strong alkali base such as sodium hydroxide, producing three molecules of soap for
every molecule of glycerol. This process is called saponification. The cleaning action of soap is
because of their ability to emulsify or disperse water-insoluble materials and hold them in the
suspension of water. This ability is seen from the molecular structure of soaps. When soap is added
to water that contains oil or other water-insoluble materials, the soap molecules surround the oil
droplets. The oil is, dissolved in the alkyl groups of the soap molecules while the ionic end allows it
to be dissolved in water. As a result, the oil droplets are to be dispersed throughout the water and
can be washed away. Properties of Soap:-Both soda and potash soaps are readily soluble in either
alcohol or hot water. In cold water they dissolve more slowly, and owing to slight decomposition,
due to hydrolysis (vide infra), the solution becomes distinctly turbid.
a) Nut Oils:-These oils are characterized to be having large proportion of fatty acids with low
molecular weight, especially lauric and stearic acid. Examples of these oils are coconut oil. These
oils, when used in toilet soaps are the chief foam-producing ingredients. They usually saponified
easily with strong alkali solution.
b) Soft Oils: These oils have substantial amounts of unsaturated acids, namely oleic, linoleic and
linoleneic acids. The soap making properties of these oils vary with their fatty acid composition,
and their physical and chemical properties of the acids. Examples of these kind oils are groundnut,
cotton seed, fish oil and olive oil. These oils cannot produce a very hard soap when used alone for
soap making. They are generally blended with nut oils. Their soaps lather freely and have very
good detergent properties. The fatty acids combine with little caustic soda, potash or other base
forming soap, and glycerol remains free. All fats and oils used in soap making consist of a mixture
of compounds of glycerol with fatty acid which occur in nature in the form of triglycerides..

Soap production from waste cooking oil
Fats and Oils: All animal and vegetable oils and fats intended for soap-making should be as free as
possible from Unsaponifiable matter, of a good color and appearance, and in a sweet, fresh
condition. The Unsaponifiable matter naturally present as cholesterol, or phytosterol, ranges in the
various oils and fats from 0.2 to 2.0 percent. All oils and fats contain more or less free acidity; but
excess of acidity, though it may be due to the decomposition of the glyceride, and does not always
denote rancidity, is undesirable in Soap-making material. Rancidity of fats and oils is entirely due
to oxidation, in addition to free acid, aldehydes and ketones being formed, and it has been proposed
to estimate rancidity by determining the Amount of these latter produced. It is scarcely necessary to
observe how very important it is that the sampling of fats and oils should be efficiently performed,
so that the sample submitted to the chemist may be a fairly representative average of the parcel. a)
Nut oils: These oils are characterized to be having large proportion of fatty acids with low
molecular weight, especially lauric and stearic acid. Examples of these oils are coconut oil. These
oils, when used in toilet soaps are the chief foam-producing ingredients.
2.3.1 OILS
They usually saponify easily with strong alkali solution. Once these oils have begun to saponify,
the process proceeds rapidly with the evolution of heat. They require very large quantities of strong
brine to grain their soaps, and the grained soaps tend to carry more salt than other soaps. Oils may
be divided into animal and vegetable oils according to source. Further, they may be classified
according to their degree of unsaturation as measured by their ability to absorb iodine at the double
bonds. This degree of unsaturation determines to a large extent the ultimate use of the oil .Liquid
8|Page
Soap production from waste cooking oil
oils (i.e., vegetable and marine oils) have the highest degree of unsaturation, while solid oils
(vegetable and animal oils) are highly saturated. Solid vegetable oils melting between (68 and 95
°c) are found mainly in the kernels and seeds of tropical fruits. They have relatively low iodine
values and consist of glycerides containing high percentages of such saturated acids as lauric,
myristic, and palmitic. Oils from fruits of many members of the palm family, notably coconut and
babassu oils contain large amounts of combined lauric acid. Most animal oils are solid at ordinary
temperatures; milk oils are usually characterized by the presence of short-chain carboxylic acids
(butyric, caproi and caprylic); and marine oils contain a large number of very long chain highly
unsaturated acids containing up to six double bonds and up to 24 or even 26 carbon atoms . Oils are
practically insoluble in water and, with the exception of castor oil, are insoluble in cold alcohol and
only sparingly soluble in hot alcohol. They are soluble in ether, carbon disulphide, chloroform,
carbon tetrachloride, petroleum benzene, and benzene. Oils have no distinct melting points or
solidifying points because they are such complex mixtures of glycerides, each of which has a
different melting point.
Additives: are used to enhance the color, texture, and scent of soap. Fragrances and perfumes
are added to the soap mixture to cover the odor of dirt and to leave behind a fresh-smelling
scent. Abrasives to enhance the texture of soap include talc, silica, and marble pumice
(volcanic ash).
Water: Water intended for use in soap-making should be as soft as possible. If the water supply
is hard, it should be treated chemically; the softening agents.
How soap works: The hydrophobic tails of soap molecules embed in grease and oil, breaking it up
into particles called micelles that lift off the surface and disperse into water.
There are many types of soaps, depending upon the usage. There are hard and soft, and everything
in-between soaps. Hardness of soap is often achieved through the addition of hardening agents, so
many natural soaps tend to be softer.

Soap production from waste cooking oil
Cleaning soaps- Cleaning soaps have different formulations to clean grease and soil. The
difference between cleansers and cleaning soaps is that cleaning soaps don't contain harsh
abrasives.
Personal soaps- This kind of soap is made in many forms and special formulations for
specific personal hygiene needs. One type of the personal soap is the antibacterial soap that
is made to prevent bacteria and viruses from spreading. There are also body and hair soaps
that have a mix of ingredients that cleans both the skin and hair.
Perfumed soaps- Perfumed soaps are produced by adding a few additional ingredients and
perfume.
Beauty soaps-Beauty soaps are produced to feature attractive fragrances, and ingredients for
a variety of skin types. They can feature glycerin, or special oil blends.
Medicated soaps-Medicated soaps and original soap are very similar. Unlike original soap,
medicated soap has the addition of antiseptics and disinfectants.
Liquid soaps-Liquid soaps are actually very difficult to produce and many of the
commercial liquid soaps are just in fact detergents.
Cream soaps: soaps containing cold cream materials, and moisturizers. Cream soaps are
good for dry and delicate skin.
Deodorant soap: soaps to which antibacterial agents have been added to reduce odor
causing bacteria.

1. It reacts with acid in neutralization reaction to produce salt and water only.
5. Soap is slippery
It has the properties of a surfactant. The soap molecule, the sodium salt of a long chain carboxylic
acid, has two distinct ends. The end with the acid group is hydrophilic and is soluble in water. All
necessary properties like Lathering power, Cleansing power, pH, Hardness, Total Fatty Matter,
Moisture, Yield of soap depends on type of oil.
2.6.1 Solubility
Soda soaps are insoluble in concentrated caustic lye, and, for the most part, in strong solutions of
sodium chloride, hence the addition of caustic soda or brine to a solution of soda soap causes the
soap to separate out and rise to the surface. Addition of brine to a solution of potash soap, on the
other hand, merely results in double decomposition, soda soap and potassium chloride being
formed.
The term "hydrolysis" is applied to any resolution of a body into its constituents where the
decomposition is brought about by the action of water, hence when soap is treated with cold water,
it is said to undergo hydrolysis. A good soap is biodegradable when it does not contain chemicals
that cannot be made to their natural elements. Either does it contain chemicals that can be harmful
to the environment or cause undue destruction to the environment.
A good soap gets dissolved easily and removes stains from the clothes, human skin or
any material being cleaned.
11 | P a g e
Soap production from waste cooking oil
A good soap does not leave sticky traces on the clothes or on the skin.
2.6.3 Glycerine
It is a very useful by product of soap manufacture. It is used to make hand lotion, drugs, and
nitro-glycerine, the main component of explosives such as dynamite.
It begins with melting the hard and soft oils together and then blending in a lye solution. The oil
mixture and lye solution must first be brought to similar temperatures (usually around 90 degrees
Fahrenheit). Once the oil and lye have been combined, the mixture is blended with a whisk or stick
blender until it is thick (called trace) and then poured into a soap mold. This method requires the
use of a heating element to melt the oils and a thermometer to check temperatures.
2.7.2 Room Temperature Method
This type of soap making process does not require an external heat source or any thermo meters. It
begins by pouring the hot lye solution onto the hard oils and gently stirring while the oils melt from
the heat. Once the hard oils have fully melted, the soft oils are then added to the mixture. The
mixture is then blended until it is thick and poured into a soap mold. It then must cure for 4 to 6
weeks before it can be used.
12 | P a g e
Soap production from waste cooking oil
Many soap makers like this method because it speeds up the time it takes for the final soaps to
become hard. Many soap makers will use hot process soap as soon as it can be cut though we prefer
to let it cure for a couple of weeks. With this method you melt the oils and blend in the lye solution
(no need to check temperatures). You blend until the soap is thick and then you cook the soap until
it is very thick (resembling mashed potatoes) and somewhat translucent. It is then scooped into a
soap mold and allowed to cool. This process is named for its boiling pot method of soap milling.
For this type of homemade soap making you will need palm oil, coconut oil, sesame oil, castor oil,
sodium hydroxide, water, borax, soap mods, stainless steel pot, stirring stick or spoon, plastic wrap.
This method tends to produce a soap that is a little more rustic in appearance than the previous two
methods.
There are two types of soap: soft soap and hard soap. Soft soap can be made using either a cold
process or a hot process, but hard soap can only be made using a hot process. Soap is completely
saponified quicker than in Cold Process soap. Essential and fragrance oils, super fatting oils, and
other additives are added at the end of the cook and are not affected by the saponification reaction.
Hot Process soaps are easier to slice and do not crumble. The cold process may require several days
or even months, depending upon the strength and purity of the ingredients, whereas the hot process
takes place within a few minutes to a few hours. The hot process, more suitable for laboratory or
industrial preparation, yields a more chemically pure powder; by-products and excess starting
materials are separated.
13 | P a g e
Soap production from waste cooking oil
Soda is of much more importance to the manufacturer of soap than potash, because we could not
make the hard soap without it.
In the first stage of the saponification reaction the waste oil is turned into a fatty acid. Because of
the Presence of water this results in a lower pH value of the mixture. When the alkali dissolves in
water, this results in a higher pH value. At pH=7 there's neither free alkali nor waste oil in the
kettle, which is the desired level. In industry automatic pH control systems are widely used, also in
soap making. In the current system the pH is measured and controlled manually. This is possible
because of the slow reaction. There's enough time to measure and adjust the pH value. Although it
is possible to implement an automatic pH control system, it is economically more interesting to
measure and control the pH manually. For continuous soap making it is advisable to use automatic
pH control systems to maintain better quality soap.

Waste cooking oil was searched in Debre Tabor town from hotels, restaurants, cafeteria
and chips potatoes and it was collected from potato chips.
The used cooking oil consists of many components like, salt, solid particles and others. By
the methods of filtration (simple sieve) and heating mantle (distillation method) some
amount (2 litre) of waste cooking oil was taken and pre-treated. Then, the unwanted
impurities were removed and measure to the treated oil. So the waste cooking oil consists
solid parts chips potatoes and salts ,those wastes are purified by filtration (sieve method)and
by heating method using sockletor and heating mantle(heat source) salt and oil
differentiated Due to different boiling point of cooked oil and solution salts.

Generally the character of waste cooking oil was measured according the following table
Item Value
PH Value 7.3
Impurity 50%
Temperature 25 0C
Lye solution was prepared from salts of sodium hydro oxide and water (NaOH&H2O.)
Experimentally it was produced from 150g of NaOH& 300 ml water, that the ratio of sodium
hydroxide to water 1:2 into the beaker. Then it was stirred with heating until it gave uniform color.
It takes 25minutes &80 0C.Then after it was cooled at the temperature from 45 0C.

Saponification reaction
As it name indicates saponification reaction is the process soap making or the reaction between raw
materials of soap making into a saponification tank to prepare soap The raw materials oil &
NaOH&H2O (Lye) were once fed into a reactor in fixed proportions. That the proportion is 1:0.45
oil to Lye solution. Then 1 litter of pure oil was added into the beakers and cooked with 20 minutes
and up to 80 0C. Then the prepared lye solution was added to with heated oil into the beaker and
mixed . Then the saponification became getting thicker and keeps stirring the soap and mix well
until it reached differentiation of soap from glyceride was occurred. With this procedure the
experiment was done three time with variation of temperature. In first experiment the mixture of oil
and lye solution cooked with temperature of 75 0C and the amount and quality of product is less.
For the second experiment the saponification reaction produced at the temperature of 85 0C. But the
amount and quality of soap is better than the first experiment. In the last experiment the
saponification reaction was occurred at the temperature of 95 0C. Comparatively the produced soap
at 95 0C was high amount and better quality than the first and the second experiment.
Soaps are the product of the reaction between oil and sodium hydroxide:

Soap production from waste cooking oil
Addition of additive
Finally different types of additive such as hydrogen per oxide, perfume, acetic sodium silicate and
sodium hydroxide were added to the ticked saponification process and stirred for 50 minutes&
glycerol and soap are separated. Then it was melded &put in cup. Finishing-Additives such as
preservatives, color and perfume are added and mixed in with the soap and it is shaped into bars for
sale.
Drying
Before concentration to dry before washing the equipment takes the soap out of the molds and
waited and it was dried for 2 days. Finally, the water levels must be reduced down to about 20%.
This is done by heating the soap to about 125oC under pressure (to prevent the water from boiling
off while the soap is still in the pipes).
Our product soap that produced at 95 0C its solubility was characterized by cutting 7g with 150ml
of water was mixed and stirred for 8 minutes. The soap became soluble slowly, indicates high
quality soap. Because: the soap, which highly soluble is no longer clean the dirty.

The PH meter is used to measure acidity or basicity or neutrality of the product. So determine the
PH our final product soap it was cut 7 gram of soap and soluble in 100ml of water with three
minute .Then PH was measured by using PH meter .Then the PH of our product became 8.1.
From produced soap we take 7 g of with 150ml of distilled water and mixing and stirring for 5
minutes. Then after 5minutes the solution produced high foam and stay for long time by physical
observation.
Also it was determined by measuring the soluble soap with water by using physical observation and
by washing dirty clothes by it. Generally our final product soap has the character of good ability to
foam, good colorant, good smell character and PH 8.1

Table 4.1Results of experiments
4.2 DISCUSSION
first experiment soap was produced from 330ml of oil and 150ml lye solution we get the 2piece of
soap at 75 0C with low quality and low amount by measuring its weight by analytical balance.
In the second experiment the soap was produced from the same amount with the first experiment
that 330ml of oil and 150ml of lye solution at 85 0C. Then the product soap we get was better
quality and high amount than the first experimental produced soap.
Finally the soap was produced at 95 0C with the same amount with the first and second experiment
that lye solution and pretreated oil and the produced soap was better than the second and the first
experiment. So we get high quality soap from the third experiment that at 95 0C.
Generally as temperature of saponification increase the amount of soap increase and quality of
soap also increased due to more separation of soap from glyceride.
In the final experiment the soap that we get was weighted by analytical balance and it became100 g

MATERIAL AND ENERGY BALANCE
5.1 MATERIAL BALANCE
Material balances are a basic Chemical industry process design that used to determine the amount
of input and output.
We assume to plan plant industry in Addis Ababa town which around 75000 population and 2800
houses in a town and around 7000 Addis Ababa town and we want to produce 3500 soap per day
for every houses by assuming every houses use each soap.
Assumption for material balance: from our laboratory the ratio of raw material to Lye solution to be
1:0.45 & industrially 3500kg/day of oil to 1575kg/day Lye solution
3500L of Oil and 1575 L lye solution produces 28000 piece of soap in industry that is 2800.KG..

Since the heat of reaction (1.8 x106 kJ/hr.) < heat removable by jacket (3.2*106 kJ/hr.)
So Our design for a cooling jacket is improved by comparing with a cooling coil. Now Cooling

Generally by adding them the input feed into the saponification vessel is 5075L. But the
saponification vessel fills up to 80% only for the reason of over flow and decreasing the

So from this we can calculate the diameter and height of the vessel

Selection criteria
Physical, chemical and biochemical properties of the feed as well as Desired product
specifications; expected variability in feed characteristics
Equipment specification typically includes the determination of vessel dimensions and description
of other internal parts of the equipment. It also involves the determination of parameters like speed,
power and any other operating parameters pertaining to the particular equipment. The major
considerations under equipment specification are:
Identification of the equipment
Function of the equipment
Material handled
45 | P a g e
Soap production from waste cooking oil
All industry has the moral and legal responsibility to protect the health and welfare of its employees
as well as that of the general public. Therefore, good safety measures have to be put in place to
ensure the safety of lives and prevent damage to equipment. The primary aim of these safety
measures therefore is to prevent or minimize workers exposure to the potential hazard, injury to
workers, loss of live and destruction of properties. They are also needed to ensure safe as well as
efficient operation. These safety measures are employed in industry mainly to prevent or control
hazards. A hazard is a property which in particular circumstances could lead to harm. Common
safety hazards in the manufacturing industry include:
I. Dangerous machinery.
IV. Falling materials due to poor housekeeping among others and etc.
The potential hazards that could be present in the soap plant specially include hazards due to
materials handling and hazards due to the various processes.
Potentially hazardous situations include handling and packaging operations, equipment cleaning
and repair, decontamination following spills and equipment failure. Hazards that workers are likely
to be exposed to, can be prevented by a number of ways. Example of which is the provision of
PPEs (Personal Protective Equipment).This equipment includes chemical splash goggles,
overcoat/chemical suit, rubber boots, and ear plugs, face shield, etc. These equipment are worn to
protect the worker from the dangers of handling some of the chemicals especially sodium
hydroxide.
Hazards that might be caused during processes in this plant include fire hazards, electrical and
mechanical hazard.
46 | P a g e
Soap production from waste cooking oil
During the process of heating the raw materials, for example, heating takes place at high
temperatures of about 60-65⁰C with the production of hot flue gases through a chimney. Care must
be taken near or during operation of the saponification vessel for example the control of
temperature. Labourers are so careless and tend to attempt checking temperature manually. This
and many other careless practices may lead to a fire hazard. Overheating of vessel should also be
avoided to prevent explosions or fire outbreak.
The main source of energy for this plant is electricity since most of the process units would be
powered by it .Care must be taken in dealing with electric powered units and power should be shut
down immediately when faulty electrical connections are detected and then alternative power
source be sought for use. Workers must also be careful especially during power fluctuations as this
might cause electrocution or explosions that might lead to fires.
These hazards may be due to improperly fixed or dangerous machinery. Some machines are
designed in such a way that it pick sever thing in its path. For example packaging, such equipment
is likely to cause mechanical hazard. Parts of machinery should not be left just anywhere on the
plant site. Rather, good housekeeping of machine parts should be employed. With the above
mentioned safety measures, the plant can be safe to work on.
The main atmospheric pollution problem in soap manufacturing is odour. The storage and handling
of liquid ingredients (including sulfonic acids and salts) and sulphates are some of the sources of
this odor. Vent lines, vacuum exhausts, raw material and product storage, and waste streams are all
potential odor sources. Control of these odors may be achieved by scrubbing exhaust fumes and, if
necessary, incinerating the remaining volatile organic compounds (VOC). Odors emanating from
the spray dryer may be controlled by scrubbing with an acid solution. Blending, mixing, drying,
packaging, and other physical operations may all involve dust emissions. The production of soap
powder by spray drying is the single largest source of dust in the manufacture of synthetic soap.
Dust emissions from other finishing operations can be controlled by dry filters such as bag houses.
47 | P a g e
Soap production from waste cooking oil
The large sizes of the particulate from synthetic soap drying means that high-efficiency cyclones
installed in series can achieve satisfactory control. Currently, no emission factors are available for
soap manufacturing. No information on hazardous air pollutants (HAP), VOCs, ozone depletes or
heavy metal emissions information was found for soap manufacturing.
1. Human health,
Pollution in any industry is of major concern because the more or less it produces pollutants
indicates the level of control measures in place. Pollution can either be abated by preventing it at
the source or using the end-of-pipe technology. The concept of zero emissions and pollution
prevention at source is the best and less expensive option for any industry. This is where raw
materials are prepared and purified through initial cleaning processes before production. However
most of the pollution control measures are end-of-pipe technology where waste at the end of
production is treated before release.

Plant location is a place where we want to begin our soap industry or a place we wants organise our
soap plant. It has more advantage for the societies that live around the industry and even for the
country. To determine production cost plant location are used
For quality of raw material.
The final selection of the plant location has a strong influence on the success of any industrial
venture. Finally, we select Addis Ababa considering the following reason:
Transportation facility
large market
Climate
availability of land
Availability of utilities

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
7.1 CONCLUSION
Generally Production of soap is one of the products that every person daily used in his life. It is
produced manually (traditional) and experimentally. The one which produced by experimental is
good product characterilised by it foamibility, color, PH value and etc. are affected by process
parameters; such as temperature, concentration and time. Therefore a good quality, high brightness,
low glycerin was obtained at 95 0C with 1.25:1waste cooking oil and Lye (NaOH+H2O) solution.
The Production of soap from waste cooking oil in the industry level creates new business and job
opportunities, for people which live around that industry even all over the country. So from
calculation of payback period the project feasible, it is best for business if it will applied.
59 | P a g e
Soap production from waste cooking oil
7.2 RECOMMENDATION
We want to give recommendation to our experimental soap somewhat good quality soap by
characterizing its temperature 78, 85 and 95 0C. But it didn’t produce experimentally its PH so if
someone precedes experimentally its PH characterization he/she will more quality soap. The other
one is our experimental does not get enough agents, even it get the necessary agents it is very
quality soap. So an experimental soap producer must get enough bleaching agents and other agents
for good soap production. The production of soap from waste cooking oil changed waste material
to valuable material .so it economically feasible. But if other person processes biodiesel from waste
cooking oil raw material it is more benefit than soap because of the cost of biodiesel higher the
costs of soap. So we wants to recommended than production of biodiesel from waste cooking oil is
more economical feasible for the country and for individual person.
