Evaluation of Biodiesel Fuel Obtained from Waste Cooking Oil

Comparison of exhaust emissions of biodiesel–diesel fuel blends produced from animal fats

“…As long as the rate of air-fuel ratio is kept under control, rate of CO reduces and the rate of CO 2 increases accordingly. Some researchers think that CO 2 emissions released into the atmosphere by using biodiesel combine with photosynthesis cycle [2,23,42]. When the engine speed increases, in Fig.…”

“…In Turkey, every year millions of tons of different types of waste oil are composed, but only a small percentage of oil is collected and used for re-evaluating (the production of soaps, cosmetics industry, leather industry, etc.). The vast majority of the remaining oil released to the environment in different ways [2,3].…”

Improving exergetic and sustainability parameters of a DI diesel engine using polymer waste dissolved in biodiesel as a novel diesel additive

“…Biodiesel (methyl or ethyl esters of long chain fatty acids), possesses characteristics similar to those of diesel while the biggest difference is its oxygen content leading to a more complete combustion and consequently less generation of pollutants [6,7]. A significant amount of literature exists on performance, combustion, and emission characteristics of diesel engine fuelled with various diesel/biodiesel blends [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16], and it is well-documented that the overall energy obtained through biodiesel combustion is lower than that of mineral diesel fuel [6]. In our previous studies, in order to compensate for this drawback, expanded polystyrene (EPS) wastes were used in biodiesel to benefit their energy content when recycled into the fuel blend [3,[17][18][19].…”

Challenges and Opportunities for Bio-Diesel Production in Turkey

“…So, even though it is more difficult to grow canola in Central and South Anatolia, it is nevertheless economically more profitable [49]. East Anatolia region, production of vegetable oils has not been improved sufficiently as bio-diesel fuel in Turkey [55].…”
