The objectives of this work were to investigate the optimization and kinetics of ethanolysis for biodiesel production … parameters affecting the biodiesel yield were successively optimized by Plackett–Burman design followed with Box–Behnken method …. The biodiesel yield of ca. 91.3% was verified under the optimized conditions of 4.3:1 of alcohol/oil molar ratio, 1.63g …

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 …/v, oil/methanol molar ratio of 3.5, and time of 30 min with actual shea butter oil biodiesel (SBOB) yield of 99.65% (w …

Due to rapid depletion of the fossil fuel reserves and environmental concerns biodiesel has attracted a great deal of … the transesterification reaction of waste cooking oil for biodiesel production. The physicochemical properties of the … catalytic activity in the transesterification of WCO, providing maximum biodiesel yield of 89.33% at 5.0 g of catalyst loading …
