“…Azam, Waris, and Nahar (2005) investigated methyl esters and fatty acids extracted from plenty of seeds that were not usually used to obtain oil and they reported that the percentage of oil extracted from Tung could reach 57%. So, the yielding obtained in this study (50.6 %) may be considered high when compared to the value obtained by Azam et al (2005) and cited in Chen et al (2010) Relative average density of the Tung's oil obtained in this work was 931.5 kg m . Difference among the values of acid index shows the need to be careful on the fruits storing since that may influence highly in this parameter.…”

“…The acid index of Tung's biodiesel was 0.473 mg KOH g -1 staying inside the specifications limit of 0.5 mg KOH g -1 (Figueiredo et al, 2015). This means there was a pre-treatment of the oil acidity on the esterification process as described by Lianhua et al (2010 at 40°C) that can be explained by the conjugated double bonds that may increase molecular interactions and the reactions of oxidation and polymerization (Chen et al, 2010).…”

“…%. However, one of its most interesting characteristic is the content of uncommon fatty acids that differs of the others vegetable oils (Chen, Chen, Chang, & Chang, 2010). Dyer and Shockey, scientists from South Regional Research Center (SRRC), in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 2007 investigated how the Tung seed produces so many uncommon fatty acids.…”

ABSTRACT. Tung's fruits (Aleurites fordii) produce oil of great applicability in the market of painting and covering due to its drying characteristics. Tung's oil may be an alternative for the production of new biofuels. In this study, it was evaluated the energetic potential of the fruit, oil and biodiesel obtained from the Tung. The average yielding of the extracted seed oil was 50.6%, a value similar to those presented in literature. Moreover, its density presented a value of 931.5 g L -1and its acid index, 4.5 mg KOH g -1 . In the last step of this study, biodiesel was produced by basic methyl route using potassium hydroxide. The specific mass of the produced biodiesel was 909.2 kg m Avaliação das frutas do Tung como possível fonte de energia sustentável RESUMO. O fruto de Tung (Aleurites fordii) produz óleo de grande aplicabilidade no mercado da pintura e da cobertura, pelas suas características de secagem. O óleo de Tung pode ser uma alternativa para a produção de novos biocombustíveis. Neste estudo, avaliou-se o potencial energético do fruto, óleo e biodiesel obtido a partir do tung. A média de produção do óleo extraído da semente foi de 50,6%, valor semelhante aos apresentados na literatura. Além disso, sua densidade apresentou um valor de 931,5 g L e seu ponto de inflamação foi de 178°C. Os valores de aquecimento in natura e o baixo nível de cinzas na biomassa residual torna os frutos do tung uma promissora fonte de energia limpa e renovável de segunda geração de combustível.Palavras-chave: oleaginosa, biomassa, poder calorífico, biodiesel.

“…The same result was observed for the remaining oils, with yields in the range of 93-98%. Chen et al [32] has studied the reaction parameters for the biodiesel production from Tung oil (Vernicia montana). Using methanol as alcohol, the effect of the molar ratio alcohol:oil (a:o) was studied in the range 3 to 28.…”

Nowadays, the fossil's fuel reserves have reduced, causing an increase on the oil's derivate prices. Thus, the biodiesel appears as an alternative, where the oil of canola is a source to this biofuel, which has from 40% to 46% of oil in grain and showed an excellent quality, due to be constituted of fat acids. This work presents physicochemical properties of canola's biodiesel produced from methylic and ethylic routes through the transesterification process. The results are in according to the established by National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP).Keywords: canola; oil; biofuel. OBTENÇÃO E CARACTERIZAÇÃO DO BIODIESEL DE CANOLA PELAS ROTASMETÍLICA E ETÍLICA RESUMO Atualmente as reservas de combustíveis fósseis têm diminuído, acarretando um aumento de preço dos derivados do petróleo. Desta forma o biodiesel surge como uma alternativa, sendo o óleo de canola uma opção para esse biocombustível, o qual possui de 40 a 46% de óleo no grão, e que é de excelente qualidade pela composição em ácidos graxos e já usado na Europa para produção de biodiesel. Este trabalho apresenta propriedades físico-químicas do biodiesel de canola nas rotas metílica e etílica através do processo de transesterificação e os resultados encontram-se dentro das normas estabelecidas pela Agência Nacional de Petróleo, Gás Natural e Biocombustíveis (ANP).

Trend of biodiesel feedstock and its impact on biodiesel emission characteristics

Feedstock for biodiesel production has changed over time and it varies depending on regions. Reports and journal articles on biodiesel feedstock resources over the last decade from 2006 to 2016 were reviewed in this article. The regional trends still maintain as the USA and the EU still predominantly use soybean oil and rapeseed oil, respectively, and palm oil is the major source of biodiesel in Asia. It is expected that the food‐crop based biodiesel will continue to be dominant for the next decade. However, it was found that uses of animal fats and used cooking oil are increasing both in the USA and the EU. Because of the increasing diversity in feedstock inputs to biodiesel, it is necessary to better understand the effects of feedstock characteristics on engine performance and emissions. In this review, we limit the reports on biodiesel emissions to those who used 100% biodiesel combusted in a one‐cylinder, four‐stroke, direct injection engine set up in a laboratory. All the emission results were obtained from the same or similar engine conditions to fairly compare them. CO, CO2, NOx, and PM emissions are compared between the biodiesels derived from soybean oil, rapeseed oil, palm oil, jatropha oil, used cooking oil, animal fats, and algal oil. It was found that more emission studies are needed for algal biodiesel. More in‐depth studies are necessary for PM characteristics including the compositions of trace metals, elemental and organic carbon. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 37: 7–19, 2018
