“…The ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials Standard) describes the mono-alkyl esters of fatty acids with long chains formed from the transesterification process as Biodiesel (Carlos et al, 2011;Ratanabuntha et al, 2018). Generally, the efficacy of converting oil to biodiesel through transesterification process depends on (i) reaction time, (ii) reaction temperature, (iii) ratio of alcohol to oil and (iv) the quantity of the catalyst (Abbah et al, 2016;Yusuff et al, 2019). Alcoholises occurs when alcohol is used for the transesterification process.…”

Dangerous environmental consequences and market unpredictability of fossil fuels have necessitated the need for sustainable large-scale production of biofuel in Nigeria. Unrefined palm oil (UPO) is a significant product of commercially available oil palm plants in the country. This study experimentally investigates the production of biodiesel from refined, bleached and deodorised (RBD) palm olein extracted from UPO obtained from batch reactors. The transesterification process of the RBD palm olein with methanol and in the presence of potassium hydroxide (KOH) catalyst produced biodiesel with a 62.5% yield, thus confirming its feasibility for mass production. The derived biodiesel has properties equivalent to ASTM D792 standard for biodiesel fuels.

“…The pure biodiesel samples (BB and CB) were synthesized by alkaline catalytic transesterification [5,9,[17][18][19][20] and their main physicochemical properties (ester content, kinematic viscosity, density, acid number, and oxidation stability) are presented in Table 1. The BB/CB blends were prepared in mass ratios of 0/100, 25/75, 50/50, 75/25, and 100/0.…”

“…Biodiesel is formed by long-chain alkyl esters of carboxylic acids, produced through transesterification and/ or esterification of a fatty substance from vegetable oils or animal fats. This biofuel may be produced from a variety of sources, including castor oil, soy oil, sunflower oil, babassu oil, beef tallow, fish oil, and others [8,9]. Since it is obtained from organic matter and includes polyunsaturated esters in its chemical structure, biodiesel is susceptible to oxidation at temperatures as low as 110 °C [10].…”

Castor–babassu biodiesel blends: estimating kinetic parameters by Differential Scanning Calorimetry using the Borchardt and Daniels method

The main objective of this study was to assess the kinetics of the deterioration of blends of babassu and castor biodiesel. The biodiesel samples were synthesized by catalytic transesterification and characterized for their main physical properties such as kinematic viscosity, density, acid number, ester content, and oxidation stability. Thermal profiles were carried out using the Differential Scanning Calorimetry technique as presented in the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E537 standard. Kinetic parameters were obtained using ASTM E2041 standard (Borchardt-Daniels method), following a statistical treatment from the ASTM E1970 standard. Among all samples, the pure castor biodiesel sample showed the highest extrapolated onset temperature (T s), 214.92 °C, and lowest reaction rate [k(T)], 1.02 × 10 −3 min −1 , indicating that this sample is more resistant to oxidation. On the other hand, the blend with the babassu/castor biodiesel mass ratio of 75/25 was the most prone to oxidize. Thus, castor biodiesel may be used as an additive to improve the oxidative stability of other sources of biodiesel, including babassu biodiesel.

“… It is useful as a dual-purpose plant, suitable for producing both biofuels and feedstuffs. Its kernel oil can be converted into biodiesel [ 138 , 139 ], leaving a defatted residue as a by-product that can be conveniently valorized for bioethanol production [ 140 ] or for feed-making purposes. In addition, some Leucaena cultivars, such as the Terramba, can be used for short rotation coppicing that can be conveniently integrated with the recovery of the leave mass that can be addressed to the livestock feeding [ 141 ].…”

In tropical and subtropical regions, as well as in the internal and/or marginal Mediterranean areas, one of the most important problems related to animal production is represented by the inadequate nutritional supplies. The low productivity of the animals, often connected to reduced annual growth, is, in fact, not infrequently attributable to the low nitrogen content and the high fiber content of the local plant species and crop residues that constitute the base ingredients of the rations commonly adopted by farmers. The use of the supplementation with arboreal and shrub fodder, although often containing anti-nutritional factors and toxins that limit its use, could be a profitable way to alleviate the nutritional deficiencies of the basic diets. Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) De Wit is native to Central America and widely naturalized in the majority of Latin American countries. It is a legume suitable for tropical and subtropical environments including the countries of the Mediterranean area. Moreover, its spread is desirable if we consider the multiple uses to which it is suitable, the considerable amount of biomass produced, and its role in preserving the environment. The aim of this work was to highlight the characteristics of Leucaena that can justify its wide diffusion. A structured analysis of strengths and weaknesses was performed accordingly. Being a good protein source for feeding livestock, it could be a species to be introduced in the inland areas of the Mediterranean countries as an alternative protein source; the limit represented by the presence of anti-nutritional factors could be overcome by feed processing and by launching targeted research programs.
