Carbon dioxide capture, storage and production of biofuel and biomaterials by bacteria: A review

Biodiesel Production by Lipids From Indonesian strain of Microalgae Chlorella vulgaris

“…The major peaks of fatty acids found in Chlorella vulgaris were palmitic acid (C16:0), stearic acid (C18:0) and margaric acid (C17:0), and nonadecanoic acid (C19:0). For fuel properties, the length of carbon chain and the number of double bonds are important, in which C16:1 and C18:1 are the ideal biofuel feedstock [17,18]. Five common feedstocks includes C16:0 (palmitic acid), C18:0 (stearic acid), C18:1 (oleic acid), C18:2 (linoleic acid) and C18:3 (linolenic acid) which were suitable for biodiesel production [19,20].…”

Recent Advances in the Chemical Fixation of Carbon Dioxide: A Green Route to Carbonylated Heterocycle Synthesis

“…In addition to the carbon dioxide fixation [11,12], the classical carboxylation reaction [13][14][15][16][17], the reduction to carbon monoxide or formic acid [18][19][20][21], and polymerization [22][23][24], the preparation of useful heterocyclic carbonyl compounds such as cyclic carbonates, carbamates, and ureas attracted the interest of many research groups. Recently, an account has been published on the reaction of CO 2 with alcohols and amines into carbonates, ureas, and carbamates in the presence of ceric oxide as the catalyst [25].…”

Critical Review on Biochar‐Supported Catalysts for Pollutant Degradation and Sustainable Biorefinery

“…[112][113][114] The production reaction involves esterification and transesterification of free fatty acids (FFAs) and vegetable oils with alcohols (commonly ethanol and methanol) (Figure 6), respectively. [115][116][117][118] There are two sets of catalysts used during the process: homogeneous and heterogeneous. Homogeneous catalysts such as NaOH, KOH, and H 2 SO 4 are easily available, but they have the limitations of poor recycling and product purification.…”
