However, in recent years, microalgae have emerged as potential biodiesel feedstocks. Microalgae offer … overall process of biofuels production from microalgae with a particular emphasis on biodiesel. Critical factors affecting the …

Oil-rich biomass has been produced from heterotrophic fed-batch and semi-continuous cultures of Chlorella … for around 89% of the total FA content. Oleic acid was the most abundant FA, accounting for >60% of total FAs. Biodiesel … was obtained using a modified process based on transesterification of wet biomass paste, with a recovery of nearly 97 …

In the present study, waste rapeseed oil with high free fatty acids (FFA) was used as feedstock for producing biodiesel …. In the pretreatment step, FFA was reduced by distillation refining method. Then, biodiesel was produced by alkaline …-catalyzed transesterification process, which was designed according to the 24 full-factorial central composite design. The response surface …

This study presents an experimental investigation into the effects of using biodiesel blends on diesel engine performance … (compression ignition) engine. This study also shows how by blending biodiesel with diesel fuel at intervals of B5, B10, B15, and B …

Methyl esters produced by transesterification of vegetable oils are the main components of biodiesel, an alternative … environmentally friendly processes to produce biodiesel. In this work, Zn,Al-mixed oxides with different Al/(Al + Zn) molar ratios … were studied as catalysts for the transesterification of soybean oil with methanol. TPD-CO2 (temperature programmed …

phosphate CuVOP resulted very active in the transesterification reaction for biodiesel production. … fluorescence) etc. Moreover, soybean oil was used as feedstock for producing biodiesel, and biodiesel was produced by CuVOP …-catalyzed transesterification process. Response surface methodology was employed to statistically evaluate and optimize the conditions for the …

Soybean heterogeneous transesterification is strongly affected by the methanol …The transesterification reaction of soybean oil with methanol is studied with different γAl2O3 heterogeneous catalysts … biodiesel yield. Finally, the industrial application of the soybean biodiesel as determined through the study of the quality …

This work investigated the potential of shea butter oil (SBO) as feedstock for synthesis of biodiesel. Due to high free … while its conversion to biodiesel was modeled and optimized using RSM and artificial neural network (ANN). The acid value of … temperature of 45 °C. Optimum values predicted for the transesterification reaction by RSM were temperature of 90 °C, KOH of 0.6 w …

Biodiesel is a promising sustainable alternative to non-renewable petrodiesel. In this work, oils extracted from … microalgae are used for biodiesel production. To simplify the process, the extraction of the oils and their reaction are made to … (35-50 °C), reaction time (2-6 h), and methanol:oil (M:O) molar ratio (8:1-16:1) on biodiesel yield were investigated …
