Biodiesel production via alkali-catalyzed transesterification of Malaysian RBD palm oil – Characterization, kinetics model

A review on recent advancement in catalytic materials for biodiesel production

“…The presence of water in the feedstock results in the formation of FFA or promotes the hydrolysis reaction of esters. On the other hand, the presence of FFA in the base-catalyzed reaction mixture direct the reaction towards undesired route, such as the saponification [78]. The soap formation reduces the final biodiesel yield because the esters gets dissolved in the glycerol phase leading towards the formation of ester-glycerol emulsion, and thus, the separation and purification of products becomes complicated [79].…”

Co-solvent Method Produce Biodiesel form Waste Cooking Oil with Small Pilot Plant

“…Following the global trend, Vietnam has acquired some achievements in producing BDF from domestic sources such as soybean, catfish and waste cooking oils. BDF is a non-toxic, biodegradable, renewable fuel [3][4][5] that can be produced from a range of organic feedstock including fresh or waste vegetable oils, animal fats, and oilseed plants. BDFs produce fewer harmful emissions during production and combustion, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere by 78% [6].…”

Synthesis and Catalytic Activity of Magnesium Hydroxide Fluorides for Production of Biodiesel: Influence of Different Mg/F Ratios

“…Therefore, the use of homogeneous catalyst for biodiesel production became unfavourable. The heterogeneous catalyst system could be an attractive solution to solve these disadvantages because the heterogeneous catalyst could be easily separable, reusable and inexpensive [8][9][10] are several heterogeneous catalysts have been studied to yield biodiesel from used frying oil [11][12][13][14][15][16]. Nevertheless, the solid catalysts exhibited some disadvantages such as expensive, not active, mass tranfer limitation and easily deactivated.…”
