“…2 The Gardner color of OOMEs was 5, which was lower than what was obtained for the crude oil and higher than what is typically observed for biodiesel prepared from refined oils. 28 The KV of OOMEs (4.40 mm 2 /s) was within the specified ranges in ASTM D6751 (1.9À6.0 mm 2 /s) and EN 14214 (3.5À5.0 mm 2 /s) at 40°C. ASTM D6751 does not prescribe limits on density, but EN 14214 specifies a range of 860À900 kg/m 3 (15.6°C).…”

Fatty acid methyl esters were prepared in high yield by transesterification of osage orange (Maclura pomifera L.) seed oil. The crude oil was extracted using supercritical CO 2 and was initially treated with mineral acid and methanol to lower its content of free fatty acids, thus rendering it amenable to homogeneous, alkali-catalyzed methanolysis. The principle components identified in osage orange methyl esters (OOMEs) were methyl linoleate (76.4%), methyl oleate (11.9%), methyl palmitate (7.0%), and methyl stearate (2.4%). As a result of the high content of methyl linoleate, OOMEs exhibited cetane number (44.9) and induction period (IP; 2.4 h) values below the ranges specified in the biodiesel standards ASTM D6751 and EN 14214. The addition of 500 ppm tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) resulted in a higher IP (6.4 h) compliant with the biodiesel standards. Furthermore, the high content of methyl linoleate resulted in an iodine value (IV; 144 g of I 2 /100 g) in excess of the maximum limit specified in EN 14214. The acid value (AV), glycerol content, kinematic viscosity, moisture content, phosphorus content, and sulfur content of OOMEs were within the limits prescribed in ASTM D6751 and EN 14214. In addition, data collected for density, lubricity, and energy content were typical for biodiesel fuels. The cold-flow properties of OOMEs were superior to those reported for several other biodiesel fuels. Also investigated were B5 and B20 blends of OOMEs in petrodiesel, which yielded AVs, kinematic viscosities, moisture contents, sulfur contents, lubricities, and densities within the limits prescribed in the petrodiesel standards. The addition of 500 ppm TBHQ to the blends resulted in IPs above the minimum thresholds specified in ASTM D7467 and EN 590. In summary, osage orange seeds provide a low-cost, non-food, high-oil-producing feedstock suitable for production of biodiesel.

“…Biodiesel from traditional feedstocks included palm oil methyl esters (PME) and soybean oil methyl esters (SME), as these suffer from inferior cold flow and oxidative stability, respectively, relative to FAMEs prepared from canola oil [16]. Biodiesel fuels from alternative oilseed feedstocks included C. sativa seed oil methyl esters (CSME) [5], cottonseed (Gossypium hirsutum) oil methyl esters (CTME) [27], field pennycress seed oil methyl esters (FPME) [6], and meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba) seed oil methyl esters (MFME) [28].…”

a b s t r a c tFatty acid methyl esters (biodiesel) prepared from field pennycress and meadowfoam seed oils were blended with methyl esters from camelina, cottonseed, palm, and soybean oils in an effort to ameliorate technical deficiencies inherent to these biodiesel fuels. For instance, camelina, cottonseed, and soybean oil-derived biodiesels exhibited poor oxidative stabilities but satisfactory kinematic viscosities. Field pennycress and meadowfoam seed oil methyl esters yielded excellent cold flow properties but high kinematic viscosities. Thus, field pennycress and meadowfoam-derived biodiesel fuels were blended with the other biodiesels to simultaneously ameliorate cold flow, oxidative stability, and viscosity deficiencies inherent to the individual fuels. Highly linear correlations were noted between blend ratio and cold flow as well as viscosity after least squares statistical regression whereas a non-linear relationship was observed for oxidative stability. Equations generated from statistical regression were highly accurate at predicting KV, reasonably accurate for prediction of cold flow properties, and less accurate at predicting oxidative stability. In summary, complementary blending enhanced fuel properties such as cold flow, kinematic viscosity, and oxidative stability of biodiesel.Published by Elsevier Ltd.

“…are cut into short‐length oil fractions by the ethylene metathesis reaction (ethenolysis) and hydrolysis (or transesterification by methanol) (Fig. ), and then, these oil fractions are converted to chemical products such as specialty chemicals, fine chemicals, medicines, fragrances and perfumes . The C 3 –C 30 oil fractions made from bio‐oil, which can be used as a raw material for almost all chemical industries, consist of olefins, olefin acids, and dienes which have one double bond at the end of the chain.…”

Bio‐oil contains plant, animal, fish, and micro‐algae oil, and more than 200 million tons are produced annually. However, many edible and non‐edible bio‐oils are still under development, and their value and feasibility have yet to be determined. The vast majority of bio‐oils produced in the world have a very high unsaturated fatty acid content (70–98%), which could be used as a renewable, eco‐friendly alternative to petroleum. Hydrolysis (or transesterification) with ethylene metathesis technology converts unsaturated fatty acids to C4–C30 oil fragments. These oil fragments are a sustainable chemical technology used in chemical industry platform technology and carbon dioxide abatement green chemical technology, and as a petrochemical substitute. These platform chemicals also have their own market but are used as raw materials for other products (polymers, surfactants, synthetic lubricants, plasticizers, other specialty chemicals, general purpose chemicals, biofuels, etc.). The biodegradability and biocompatibility of the polymeric materials made from the oil mean that it is also possible to develop diverse functional products with high added value such as toothpaste, dandruff treatment shampoo, and melanin pigment removal cosmetics, medical and shape memory polymer materials. According to the cradle‐to‐gate analysis for environmental impact and economics, the total carbon dioxide emission reduction per ton of soybean oil was estimated to be 1.5 kg kg−1 products. Moreover, the metathesis of soybean oil ($680/ton) with additional raw materials ($237.4) will generate a value that is 7.5 times higher at $6857. Due to the biodegradability and biocompatibility of the products made from bio‐oils, it is expected that various functional products with high added value will be developed and that industrial applicability will be greatly expanded in the near future. In addition, for the development of various derivatives, fusion and cooperative research in chemical fields such as catalytic engineering, organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, maintenance chemistry, and reaction engineering are essential. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
