Biodiesel is a fatty acid alkyl ester which is renewable, biodegradable and non-toxic fuel which can be derived from any vegetable oil and animal fats. Vegetable oils and animal fats in their raw form have high viscosity that makes them unsuitable as fuels for diesel engines. Transesterification is one of the well-known process by which fats and oils are converted into biodiesel. The reaction o...

Preparation of size controlled nano-particles of silver catalyst on carbon substrate from e-waste has been investigated. Chemical route was developed by extraction of the metals available in nitric acid followed by treatment with hydrofluoric acid. Silver metal particles deposited with an average size 4-10nm. A stabilizer concentration of 10-40g/l was used. The average size of the prepared silv...

The utilization of hydroxy sodalite (H-SOD) as catalyst under solvent-free condition is described for the efficient preparation of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyrans. These compounds are synthesized by three-component reactions of aldehydes, alkylnitriles and dimedone. H-SOD that is the waste-product of zeolite manufacturing process is used as an efficient and a very inexpensive catalyst. Furthermore, it...

KF/Al2O3 as a green and efficient catalyst has been used for the synthesis of mono and bis pyrimidine derivatives via three-component reaction of amidines, malononitrile, and aldehydes in EtOH at reflux. The great advantage of this catalyst is the ease of handling. KF/Al2O3 can be used and removed by filtration, avoid cu...

The hydroformylation of alkenes is a major commercial process used for the production of oxygenated organic compounds. Commercial hydroformylation processes may produce significant quantities of waste material. When the hydroformylation reaction is performed using a homogeneous catalyst, an organic or aqueous solvent is employed and a significant effort must be expended to recover the catalyst ...

Solvent-free copolymerization of epoxides derived from fatty esters of waste cooking oil with phthalic anhydride using (salen)CrIIICl as catalyst and n-Bu₄NCl/DMAP (tetrabutylammonium chloride/4-(dimethylamino)pyridine) as co-catalysts was carried out for the first time under microwave irradiation, where reaction time was reduced from a number of hours to minutes. The polyesters were obtained w...

Design of highly efficient multifunctional reaction processes for energy production is one of the main focus areas of Chemical Engineering. This article presents multiscale simulation frameworks for heterogeneously catalyzed reactors wherein numerous synthesis steps are integrated for high efficiency biodiesel production. The goal is the modeling of transport-adsorption-reactiondesorption pheno...
