Catalyst plays an important role in biodiesel production. Owing to the advantages of heterogeneous catalysts in terms … different industrial processes. Therefore, its utilization as catalyst makes the biodiesel production a “greener” one. Under … optimal conditions biodiesel (FAME) yields up to 90–98.3% were reported over various carbon based catalysts. …

Because of biodegradability and nontoxicity biodiesel has become more attractive as alternative fuel. Biodiesel is … produced mainly from vegetable oils by transesterification of triacylglycerols. From economic and social reasons, edible oils … should be replaced by lower-cost and reliable feedstocks for biodiesel production such as non-edible plant oils. This paper …

reaction rate is focused on. UA transesterification is compared with other techniques for biodiesel production. Several …In the present paper state-of-the art and perspectives of ultrasound-assisted (UA) biodiesel production from different … oil-bearing materials using acid, base and enzyme catalysts are critically discussed. The ultrasound action in biodiesel …

An experiment to establish the best reaction conditions for the transesterification of soybean oil is described. We …/oil molar ratio, catalyst (%), catalyst type, and temperature affected the process. The highest yield of biodiesel was obtained … also conducted the physicochemical analysis of the soybean oil used as feedstock to produce biodiesel. …

The potential of Jatropha curcas seed oil for biodiesel production is well recognized. Lipase transesterification of … enzymatic transesterification. This study investigated the impact of methanol adding on transesterification efficiency for … bonds of linoleic acid (C18:2) on methanolytic transesterification by both adding methods. …

Effects of variation in biodiesel fuel properties on engine performance are not completely understood and there is a … need for further research. The effects of altering the feedstock oil and alcohol type used in biodiesel production on … acid ethyl esters (Rapeseed, Soybean, Palm, Lard, Tallow) were studied. Compared to petro-diesel, biodiesel showed …
