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) ...
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 ...
Enzymatic conversion of sunflower oil to biodiesel in a solvent-free system: Process optimization and the immobilized system stability
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2009)
The feasibility of using the commercial immobilized lipase from Candida antarctica (Novozyme 435) to synthesize biodiesel from sunflower oil in a solvent-free system has been proved. Using methanol as an acyl acceptor and ...
Kinetics of sunflower and used vegetable oil methanolysis catalyzed by CaO·ZnO
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
The kinetics of heterogeneous methanolysis of sunflower oil and used vegetable oil were studied at different temperatures, ranging from 60 to 96 degrees C using CaO center dot ZnO as catalyst (2 wt% on the basis of oil) ...
Alumina/silica supported K2CO3 as a catalyst for biodiesel synthesis from sunflower oil
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2009)
The new type of catalyst for fatty acid methyl esters (FAME or biodiesel) synthesis with K2CO3 as active component on alumina/silica support was synthesized using sol-gel method. Corresponding catalyst (xerogel) was prepared ...
Biodiesel synthesis at high pressure and temperature: Analysis of energy consumption on industrial scale
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2009)
Analysis of several different schemes for industrial FAME production at higher pressure and temperature (catalytic or non-catalytic synthesis) was realized with the aim to find the best route to reduce the energy consumption ...
Review of biodiesel synthesis from waste oil under elevated pressure and temperature: Phase equilibrium, reaction kinetics, process design and techno-economic study
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
The synthesis of biodiesel under elevated pressure and temperature could be promising technology which could result in sustainable biodiesel production, from renewable and waste streams like waste oil or used frying oil, ...
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 ...
