Low-Cost Feedstock Conversion to Biodiesel via Ultrasound Technology

Low-Cost Feedstock Conversion to Biodiesel via Ultrasound Technology

Biodiesel has attracted increasing interest and has proved to be a good substitute for fossil-based fuels due to its environmental advantages and availability from renewable resources such as refined and waste vegetable oils. Several studies have shown that biodiesel is a better fuel than the fossil-derived diesel in terms of engine performance, emissions reduction, lubricity and environmental ...

Alternative crops for biodiesel feedstock

Biodiesel, the name popularly given to fatty acid alkyl esters, has become an attractive option for the replacement of petroleum diesel (‘petrodiesel’). While its overall impact on the greenhouse effect continues to be debated, other qualities of biodiesel are unquestioned. Biodiesel is biodegradable, generally non-toxic and has superior lubricity to petrodiesel. Overall emissions are greatly r...

From Pond to Pump: Microalgae as a Feedstock for Biodiesel

Melothria maderaspatna seed oil: A low cost feedstock for biodiesel production using crystalline manganese carbonate, a green catalyst

This research focuses on the production of biodiesel from low cost feedstock such as Melothria madraspatana seed oil via MnCO3 catalyzed transesterification process at 60°C, investigating the effects of process parameters such as molar ratio of feedstock to methanol, catalyst quantity, and reaction time on biodiesel yield. The biodiesel was successfully produced via transesterification process ...
