Continuous biodiesel production under subcritical condition of methanol - Design of pilot plant and packed bed reactor with MnCO3/Na-silicate catalyst
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
The continuous biodiesel production from soybean oil was carried out under the subcritical condition of methanol with MnCO3/Na-silicate as a heterogeneous catalyst. The transesterification rate was first investigated in a ...
Process and techno-economic analysis of green diesel production from waste vegetable oil and the comparison with ester type biodiesel production
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Like ester type biodiesel fuel, green diesel is a next generation transportation fuel emerging due to the need for a renewable replacement of internal combustion engine fuel, which is also fully compatible with existing ...
Biodiesel production by methanolysis of waste lard from piglet roasting over quicklime
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Waste lard from piglet roasting and quicklime (basically CaO) as a priceless fatty feedstock and a cheap solid catalyst, respectively were tested for the biodiesel production by methanolysis in a batch stirred reactor at ...
Calcium diglyceroxide synthesized by mechanochemical treatment, its characterization and application as catalyst for fatty acid methyl esters production
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
In the present work, calcium diglyceroxide (CaDG) was synthesized by mechanochemical treatment of CaO dispersed in glycerol, and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analysis (TGA/DTA), infrared spectroscopy ...
Continuous sunflower oil methanolysis over quicklime in a packed-bed tubular reactor
(Elsevier Ltd, 2015)
The continuous sunflower oil methanolysis catalyzed by quicklime in a packed-bed tubular reactor of 60 cm height was studied at 60 °C using methanol-to-oil molar ratios from 6:1 to 18:1 and weight hourly space velocities ...
Kinetics of sunflower oil methanolysis catalyzed by calcium oxide
(Elsevier, 2009)
The methanolysis of sunflower oil was studied in the presence of CaO previously calcined at various temperatures and the optimal temperature for CaO calcination was determined. The sigmoidal process kinetics was explained ...
Kinetics of sunflower oil methanolysis at low temperatures
(Elsevier Ltd, 2008)
The kinetics of the sunflower oil methanolysis process was studied at lower temperatures (10-30 °C). The sigmoidal kinetics of the process was explained by the mass transfer controlled region in the initial heterogenous ...
Decrease of free fatty acid content in vegetable oil using silica supported ferric sulfate catalyst
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
A difficulty of biodiesel synthesis based on alkaline catalysts obviously exists if free fatty acids (FFAs) content in vegetable oil is above 0.5 wt.%. In this study, the ferric sulfate supported on silica (Fe-2(SO4)(3)/SiO2) ...
Modeling the kinetics of calcium hydroxide catalyzed methanolysis of sunflower oil
(Elsevier, 2010)
The kinetics of Ca(OH)2-catalyzed methanolysis of sunflower oil was studied at a moderate temperature (60 °C), a methanol-to-oil molar ratio (6:1) and different catalyst amounts (from 1% to 10% based on oil weight). The ...
The effect of agitation intensity on alkali-catalyzed methanolysis of sunflower oil
(Elsevier, 2007)
The sunflower oil methanolysis was studied in a stirred reactor at different agitation speeds. The measurements of drop size, drop size distribution and the conversion degree demonstrate the effects of the agitation speed ...
