“…The traditional production of biodiesel is based on animal and vegetable oils, which account for 80% of the production cost . In recent years, there has been increasing interest in exploring the production of biodiesel from low-grade and low-cost feedstocks, such as nonedible oils, − waste cooking oils, − and microalgae, − because of advantages in terms of sustainability and cost-effectiveness.…”

NaCl-modified graphitic carbon nitrides (GCN) were applied in the base-catalyzed transesterification of recovered oil. GCN has been seen as a prospective heterogeneous catalyst for transesterification, but pristine-GCN has a narrow range of applications because of its weak basic sites and small surface area. To overcome these defects, NaCl-modified GCN was prepared through the co-thermal polymerization of NaCl with urea. The doping of NaCl generated C�N and Na−N species, which enhanced the basicity of the catalyst. Meanwhile, with the assistance of NaCl, GCN was decomposed and produced a large number of small pores of hundreds of nanometers, which contributed to the increase in specific surface area. In addition, the effects of transesterification parameters and their interactions on biodiesel yields were investigated by using Box−Behnken design, and the reaction conditions were optimized. A high biodiesel yield of 93.05% was achieved under the optimal conditions.

“…Subpar results while employing a high biodiesel ratio due to the greater viscosity of KOME and reduced calorific value [12]. Therefore, to completely replace diesel in the diesel engine, one must blend another bio-oil with Karanja oil biodiesel that has roughly comparable physiochemical qualities to diesel [13]. The qualities of eucalyptus oil were comparable to those of diesel, except for its lower cetane number, which, when used at 100%, may cause more banging in a diesel engine [14].…”

Diesel engines may run on biodiesel, a sustainable fuel that can be made from a variety of feedstocks using various alcohols and catalysts. The type of alcohol has a direct impact on the biodiesel’s fuel qualities. Variations in fuel qualities can lead to variations in diesel engine performance, combustion, and injection characteristics. Using blends of 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% with Karanja oil and regular diesel fuel separately, experimental tests were conducted to assess the performance and emissions of a direct injection, water-cooled Kirloskar diesel engine at 1500 rpm with variable load. The 3-hole and 5-hole fuel injectors are the subjects of this investigation. Because Karanja methyl esters (KME) have a lower calorific value than diesel, their value increases with the proportion of KME in the mix. For a 20% blend, this means that brake-specific fuel consumption increases. As the amount of KME in the gasoline increases, the brake thermal efficiency falls. At a 20% mix, Brake thermal efficiency is almost identical to diesel fuel. For all blends, CO and HC emissions rise with load and fall with the fraction of KME in the mix. For every combination of KME, the density of smoke rises as the load increases. Smoke density falls as the fraction of mixes containing KME rises. It has been observed that when nozzle holes are increased from three to five, brake thermal efficiency rises with load. When comparing a 5-hole to a 3-hole with load, the Brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC) will fall. Nozzles have an influence on emissions in that as nozzle holes grow, so do CO, HC, and smoke opacity. According to the findings, a 20% KME blend for a 5-hole fuel injector nozzle is a good substitute for diesel.
