“…The yield of biodiesel reached 98.2% at a methanol:oil molar ratio of 8.5:1, catalyst amount of 2%, reaction temperature of 45 °C. Biological enzymatic method is used to produce fatty acid esters by transesterification of alcohols and vegetable oils with lipase as catalyst . Michelin et al produced fatty acid ethyl esters through solvent‐free enzymatic transesterification of Macauba ( Acrocomia aculeata ) coconut oil by using a commercial immobilized lipase (Novozym 435).…”

Summary Ultrasound‐assisted biodiesel production is an emerging technology that features high energy density, high conversion efficiency, and environment friendliness. This review evaluates the influence of process parameters, including ultrasonic power, ultrasonic frequency, catalyst dosage, alcohol/oil ratio, reaction temperature, reaction time, and alcohol type, on the yield of ultrasonic‐assisted production of biodiesel. Limitations associated with ultrasonic‐assisted production of biodiesel are also analyzed. Further development of this technology is explored. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…The promising incentives for enzyme‐assisted transesterification reactions are: high‐purity biodiesel formation, no saponification, low operating cost, easy separation and recycling. Therefore, biodiesel production by enzyme‐catalyzed transesterification is the best sustainable option that can replace the petro‐diesel . The lipases are normally used both in the homogeneous (free form) or heterogeneous (immobilized form) transesterification.…”

Biofuel production via microalgae is a promising and sustainable alternative to replace the typical fossil fuel that is the main contributor to the global warming. However, for a cost‐effective biofuel production, further advanced research is still needed for large‐scale operation. This article is a tutorial review on conversion processes of microalgae into biofuel, with emphasis on biochemical conversion. The following topics are discussed: (i) microalgae biomass and its composition, (ii) thermochemical conversion, (iii) chemical conversion, and (iv) biochemical conversion. In addition, various aspects of anaerobic digestion, digester designs, and effects of operating conditions on the production of methane, bioethanol, and biohydrogen are discussed. The general kinetics of biomass conversion into biofuel is presented. This study suggests, if that biomass contains less than 50 % moisture, then it is recommended to use the direct combustion method; otherwise, biochemical conversion is the most suitable process to biofuel production.
