This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. This version will... more
The research presents experimental study and investigation on the production of biodiesel from African sweet orange seeds oil. The seeds were obtained, sundried, crushed and weighed. Chemical extraction method was used to extract oil from... more
In this research work, a mathematical model was simulated for Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) as an extension of the work of Abowei et al., (2013) exploiting the transesterification kinetic of Olatunji et. al., (2012) at an... more
Mainly animal fats and vegetable oils are used for the production of biodiesel. Several types of fuels can be derived from triacylglycerol-containing feedstock. Biodiesel which is defined as the mono-alkyl esters of vegetable oils or... more
Biodiesel which is a biodegradable, nontoxic and ecofriendly fuel was produced from Tropical Almondseed oil. The almond oil was extracted using n-hexane and then transesterified using CaO catalystderived from snail shell into biodiesel.... more
Kinetic studies are concerned with the quantitative description of how fast chemical reactions take place and factors affecting them. The study is important to a chemist to understand the fundamental aspects of the reaction pathways to... more
In this study, potassium hydroxide catalyst supported on palm shell activated carbon was developed for transesterification of palm oil. The Central Composite Design (CCD) of the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was employed to... more
Biodiesel production from waste cooking oil was obtained using Thermomyces lanuginosus (TL) lipase (E.C.3.1.1.3) anchored on Fe 3 O 4 /Au nanoparticles through physical interactions. A remarkable biodiesel yield of ∼90% was obtained... more
Dünyadaki enerji ihtiyacının büyük çoğunluğu fosil temelli yakıtlardan karşılanmaktadır. Petrol, kömür ve doğalgazın dahil edildiği fosil temelli yakıt rezervleri hızla tükenmektedir. Sınırlı hale gelen ve sonlu olan bu rezervler dünya... more
The depletion of fossil fuel forces the world to look for alternative ways for energy production. The most common way is the production of biodiesel from waste cooking oil. This paper presents a detailed cost analysis for a biodiesel... more
Green production of glycerol 1,2-carbonate with an environmentally friendly catalyst was proposed. Screening and optimisation of the catalysts were comprehensively performed. The basic ionic liquid (emim[Ac]) showed best catalytic... more
Biodiesel produced by transesterification process from vegetable oils or animal fats is viewed as a promising renewable energy source. Now a day's diminishing of petroleum reserves in the ground and increasing environmental pollution... more
Biodiesel didefinisikan sebagai ester monoalkil dari tanaman dan lemak hewan. Biodiesel memiliki kemiripan karakterisktik dengan solar. Salah satu sumber pembuatan biodiesel yaitu minyak jelantah yang merupakan limbah dari minyak goreng.... more
Biodiesel as a biodegradable, sustainable and clean energy has worldwide attracted renewed and growing interest in topical years, chiefly due to development in biodiesel fuel and ecological pressures which include climatic changes. In the... more
In this work, ethylic biodiesel was produced through changes in TDSP methodology (Transesterification Double Step Process), settling the optimal transesterification conditions – time, temperature and alcohol:oil:catalyst molar ratio – for... more
Biodiesel which is a biodegradable, nontoxic and ecofriendly fuel was produced from Tropical Almondseed oil. The almond oil was extracted using n-hexane and then transesterified using CaO catalystderived from snail shell into biodiesel.... more
Biodiesel as a renewable and biodegradable fuel has great potential to mitigate the problem of soaring fuel price demand. Biodiesel has excellent properties comparable to diesel hence can substitute diesel in compression ignition engines... more
Over the past years with the growing demand for fuel and the reduction of fossil sources and as a result the increase in fuel cost and on the other hand the issue of global hygiene and health has attracted the nations' attention to... more
Grass is an excellent energy crop; it may be classified as a high yielding, low energy input, perennial crop. Over 90% of Irish agricultural land is under grass; thus farmers are familiar with, and comfortable with, this crop as opposed... more
Energy is an essential input for economic development and improving the quality of life. Now-a-days power and prestige of any nation depends upon its energy security. With the stock of conventional fossil fuels on the verge of exhaustion,... more
The enhanced use of diesel fuel and the strict emission norms for the protection of environment have necessitated finding sustainable alternative and relatively green fuels for compression ignition engines. This paper presents a brief... more
The major challenges facing the commercialization of biodiesel are: readily available and profitable feedstock and cost-effective production process. Although conventional oilseed feedstocks provided biodiesel yields of more than 98%,... more
Sri Lankan energy policy depends on hydropower, coal power, and fossil fuel, contributing to the transportation sector. Implementing renewable energy is a time-required necessity to minimize the dependency on imported fossil fuels.... more
Biodiesel is becoming prominent among the alternatives to conventional petro-diesel due to economic, environmental and social factors. The quality of biodiesel is influenced by the nature of feedstock and the production processes... more
n context of climatic changes and soaring prices per barrel of petroleum, renewable carbon neutral, transport fuels are needed to displace petroleum derived transport fuel, which contribute to global warming and are of limited... more
Biodiesel derived from non edible sources is a potential eco-friendly substitute to petroleum fuel. Acid-catalysed esterification was applied to reduce free fatty acid (FFA) content of oil to zero followed by base-catalyzed... more
