Increased rate of use of fossil fuels have greatly polluted the earth through harmful by-products. Biodiesel is an … Arachis Hypogaea Oil (AHO) is used along with ethanol for biodiesel production. Since the amount of free fatty acid of AHO is … 4.85%, two step transesterification process was adopted for biodiesel production. In the first step, 6:1 ethanol to oil …

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 …

Methanol was replaced by dimethyl carbonate for biodiesel production. In the process, fatty acid methyl ester (FAME …

Biodiesel, an alternate and ecologically acceptable substitute for the conventional fuel, is usually produced from a … increase in the future. In this regard, reliable and low-cost raw materials have increasingly drawn interest for biodiesel … different methods employed for biodiesel production from waste animal fats employing transesterification reaction. The aim of …
