Environmental pollution and the declining global supply of accessible fossil fuels are the key drivers of the search for alternative sources of energy. Biodiesel, a renewable liquid transport fuel, is commercially-produced using heterogeneous catalysts. Heterogeneous catalysts obtained from seashells appeared as promising alternatives thanks to their low preparation cost and increased efficiency in...
In the study, to improve the efficiency of acid-catalyzed biodiesel production process, three acidic imidazolium ionic liquids were synthesized and employed to the production of biodiesel from palm oil under microwave irradiation. The prepared ionic liquids were characterized by NMR, FT-IR and TG-DTG. Among the three ionic liquids, ([HSO3-BMIM]HSO4) was proved to be the most suitable catalyst because...
This study examines that a non-edible dairy waste scum and Hydnocarpus Wightiana oil is claimed to be a highly potential feed stock for biodiesel production. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) in aggregation with Central Composite Design (CCD) is employed to evaluate the best potential combination of catalyst concentration, methanol to oil molar ratio, reaction time and temperature for higher yield...
Current research reports the synthesis of in-situ TiO2/RGO nanocomposite and used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the transesterification of waste cooking oil into biodiesel. The prepared catalyst was characterized viz. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM),...
