Introduction The possibility of using vegetable oils as fuel has been documented in the beginning of diesel engines. Biodiesel produced from waste oil by trans-esterification process can be used as a substitute for diesel in internal combustion engines [1]. Biodiesel can be produced by the transesterifcation of vegetable oils [2] such as soyabean oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil etc. [3]. Trans...

transesterification, one of the most effective methods for ester synthesis, is usually conducted under acid or basicconditions. although quite a few methods have been reported for transesterification, they are not general as far asp-ketoesters are concerned. some of these methods used toxic, expensive reagents and in relatives large amount. inthis research, transesterification reaction six type...

The purpose of this work is to investigate the influence of n-hexane addition on in situ transesterification of a solid raw material for biodiesel production. Extraction and reaction of macroalgae oil has been performed simultaneously in a batch reactor adding n-hexane with the reactants. In order to analyze the influence of n-hexane on the transesterification, the reaction was also carried out...

The present study investigates the transesterification of corn oil with methanol over two oxides of MgO and ZnO at 65 ͦC and 1 atm. These two catalysts have been prepared via a conventional co-precipitation process. As for MgO, the corresponding mixed metal nitrate solution has been mixed and heated at the presence of urea. ZnO has also been synthesized by co-precipitation of metal acetate at th...

Nowadays microwave radiation is being researched to produce biodiesel from different raw materials due to the many advantages that this technology presents compared to traditional transesterification, such as shorter reaction times and less amount of heat energy to obtain biodiesel. The aim of this research was to explore the possibility of carrying out the microwave-assisted transesterificatio...
