The increasing vehicular population leads to consumption of petroleum fuels at a faster rate. This problem results increase in the danger of petroleum fuels depletion and the remarkable increase in high crude oil prices. The increasing consumption of petroleum products has been a matter of great concern for the country for the financial growth as well as environmental pollution abatement. The s...

Enzymatic transesterification by using lipase as catalyst has become more attractive for the production of biodiesel due to easy separation of products such as glycerol and fatty acid esters. Comparative studies of enzyme catalyzed transesterification of three less attended non edible oils (jatropha, karanja and putranjiva) have been discussed. The maximum yield has been obtained at 3:1 molar r...

The globe has been compelled to develop other fuels due tight emission restrictions, poor environmental circumstances, depletion of oil reserves, and rising prices petroleum fuels. rapid development the automobile sector resulted in a sharp increase demand for petroleum-based Petroleum-based have finite amount reserves. Biodiesel, viable alternative fuel qualities that are similar diesel By com...

Biodiesel will play an increasing role in fulfilling the world’s energy requirement. The world has experienced negative effect from the fossil fuel such as global warming and acid rain etc. With the increase in consumption of biodiesel, its impact on environment has raised a discussion around the world. Energy requirement of the world will increase in coming future and is projected to increase ...

Heterogeneous catalyst was prepared from Portland cement. The heterogeneous tested for catalytic activity in the transesterification of non-edible, high free fatty acid feedstock, such as crude karanja oil (CKO), biodiesel production, at methanol reflux temperature. Gas chromatographic (Gc) analysis technique used to determine methyl ester yield. preparation low-cost sources, and use non-edible...
