Biofuel has got tremendous attraction for the last decade as an alternative source of energy. Bioethanol and biodiesel … are two main products of first generation biofuel. Biodiesel is chemically fatty acid methyl esters prepared from various … generation, transesterification, factors affecting transesterification, catalysts (homogeneous and heterogeneous) and physico …

Fatty acid methyl ester derived from renewable lipid feedstock is popularly known as biodiesel, the substitute for …, by-product of vegetable oil refineries are the cheap feedstock for cost-effective production of biodiesel. Jatropha may … synthesis of biodiesel using homogeneous catalyst, heterogeneous catalyst, enzymes (lipases) and non-catalytic supercritical …

Nowadays, biodiesel is an alternative fuel to replace the existing petroleum-based diesel. The advantages of biodiesel … are good combustion efficiency, high-lubricity, biodegradability and low toxicity. Biodiesel can be an alternate fuel to … commercially improve the transesterification by using homogeneous base catalyst, e.g. sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. By …

Biodiesel is mainly produced by transesterification reaction between lipid feedstock such as vegetable oil or algal oil … and alcohol. Considering the depletion of conventional fossil fuel, biodiesel is gaining more attention as a renewable …, sustainable and environmental friendly fuel. Heterogeneous catalysts are mostly applied in transesterification reaction due to …

renewable alternative fuels like biodiesel. Biodiesel production is generally carried out through the process of … transesterification reaction. The reaction is facilitated with a suitable catalyst either homogeneous or heterogeneous. The selection of … biodiesel production and their suitability for industrial application. …

the reason why nowadays heterogeneous catalysts are being developed to produce biodiesel. Several catalytic materials have … are able to carry out triglycerides transesterification reaction and bifunctional solids (acid–base character) which show … ability to simultaneously catalyze esterification and transesterification reaction. This review discusses the latest advances …

exponential fuel demand and now the race is on for alternate energy source. The fortunate improvements in Biodiesel fuel … production techniques has been the heading topic of economic and environment sustainability so far. Biodiesel have the potential … to replace diesel in vehicle engines. It has been tested and proved that engines running on biodiesel have shown low …

transesterification processes for biodiesel production are critically reviewed. … vegetable oils in the production of biodiesel. They are low cost, mitigate environmental damage and increase the quality of the … resultant biodiesel fuel (low NOx emissions, high Cetane number and oxidative stability). Therefore, AFWs are an excellent …
