Rapeseed Oil is the Base for Biodiesel Fuel

Detailed Study regarding the Biodiesel Pollution from Rapeseed Oil

Biodiesel production is a modern and technological area for researchers due to the constant increase in the prices of petroleum diesel and environmental advantages. A single cylinder direct injection diesel engine was fuelled with blends of biodiesel and diesel. Regulated emissions and performance data were generated, and a detailed characterization of exhaust emissions was performed. The use o...

Biodiesel Production From Rapeseed Oil With Waste Frying Oils

Biodiesel or fatty acids alkyl esters (FAAE) of long chain are an alternative fuel produced by a transesterification process. The potential production of biodiesel from rapeseed oil in Chile is associated to the solution of economic, environmental and social problems. Experiences from other countries have demonstrated that biodiesel prices are higher than diesel, due to the high costs of the ra...

Biodiesel Production from Palm Oil using Heterogeneous Base Catalyst

In this study, the transesterification of palm oil with methanol for biodiesel production was studied by using CaO–ZnO as a heterogeneous base catalyst prepared by incipient-wetness impregnation (IWI) and co-precipitation (CP) methods. The reaction parameters considered were molar ratio of methanol to oil, amount of catalyst, reaction temperature, and reaction time. The optimum conditions—15:1 ...

Ultrasound - assisted production of biodiesel FAME from rapeseed oil in a novel two - compartment reactor

Degradation of acrylonitrile butadiene rubber and fluoroelastomers in rapeseed biodiesel and hydrogenated vegetable oil

III To my mother and father IV ABSTRACT Biodiesel and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) are currently viewed by the transportation sector as the most viable alternative fuels to replace petroleum-based fuels. The use of biodiesel has, however, been limited by the deteriorative effect of biodiesel on rubber parts in automobile fuel systems. This work therefore aimed at investigating the degradati...
