Biodiesel is an alternative fuel consisting of the alkyl esters of fatty acids from vegetable oils or animal fats …, soybean oil, etc. Research has shown that biodiesel-fueled engines produce less carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbon (HC … while using biodiesel may be overcome by employing EGR. The objective of current research work is to investigate the usage …

Effects of variation in biodiesel fuel properties on engine performance are not completely understood and there is a … need for further research. A review of literature studies on biodiesel engine performance and emissions is presented here … reported on the effects of biodiesel oxidation, and antioxidant additives. It is well known that physical properties of …

This work focuses on the development of heterogeneous catalysts for biodiesel production from high free fatty acid (FFA …) containing Jatropha curcas oil (JCO). Solid base and acid catalysts were prepared and tested for transesterification in a batch …-step simultaneous esterification and transesterification. More soap formation was found to be the main problem for calcium oxide (CaO …

Heterogeneous basic catalysts can be used for biodiesel production. The performances of several types of such materials …

Biodiesel either in neat form or as a mixture with diesel fuel is widely investigated to solve the twin problem of …, emission and combustion characteristics of biodiesel derived from non edible Jatropha oil in a dual fuel diesel engine with … found to be higher. However, HC, CO and CO2 and smoke were found to be lower with Jatropha biodiesel fuel. NOx emissions on …

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 …

Interest in biodiesel research has increased over the years due to diminishing petroleum reserves but biodiesel has to … conversion of non-edible seed oil, Calophyllum inophyllum with free fatty acid of 15% into biodiesel over biomass …

In this review, recent development of glycerol-free supercritical fluid transesterification for biodiesel production … was discussed. Glycerol-free supercritical fluid processes including single-step and two-step transesterification for … biodiesel production were reviewed and subsequently the advantages and limitations were highlighted.
