    The biodiesel production from waste soybean oil (using NaOH and KOH catalysts independently) was investigated in this study. The use of optimization tools (artificial neural network, ANN, and response surface methodology, RSM) for the modelling of the relationship between biodiesel yield and process parameters was carried out. The variables employed in the experimental design of biodiesel yields were methanol-oil mole ratio (6 – 12), catalyst concentration (0.7 – 1.7 wt/wt%), reaction temperature (48 – 62°C) and reaction time (50 – 90 min). Also, the usefulness of both the RSM and ANN tools in the accurate prediction of the regression models were revealed, with values of R-sq being 0.93 and 0.98 for RSM and ANN respectively.

    Response surface methodology (RSM) and Artificial neural network (ANN) analysis of crude palm kernel oil (CPKO) biodiesel production, using KOH and NaOH catalysts, were carried out in this research work. The four process parameters considered during the production process and modelling stages were 6–12 mol ratio of methanol/oil, 0.7–1.7 wt/wt% catalyst concentration, 48–62 °C reaction temperature and 50–90 min reaction time. Log sigmoid function and Levenberg marquardt technique were adopted in ANN while Box-Benkhen method was utilised for RSM. The results revealed that KOH catalyst process produced higher yield of biodiesel (87 – 99%), compared to the yield obtained from NaOH catalysed process (79 – 91%). The regression coefficients for RSM models were 0.9324 for KOH catalysed process and 0.8935 for NaOH catalysed process, while the overall correlation coefficients for ANN models were 0.82921 for KOH catalysed process and 0.89396 for NaOH catalysed process, an implication that RSM is a better analytical tool (compare to ANN) in models formulation.
