Predicting the higher heating values of waste frying oils as potential biodiesel feedstock

A novel oleaginous yeast strain with high lipid productivity and its application to alternative biodiesel production

“…It presents the energy avail able from any fuel when burned [31]. The results in Table 6 show that the yeast biodiesel calorific value (34.0 MJ/kg) was comparable to that of biodiesel made from fresh soybean oil (40.9 MJ/kg), biodiesel from used soybean oil (39.0 MJ/kg), and pongamia biodiesel (34.75 MJ/kg).…”

Density Measurements of Waste Cooking Oil Biodiesel and Diesel Blends Over Extended Pressure and Temperature Ranges

“…This result conforms with those of the investigation conducted by Leung and Guo [18] who synthesized biodiesel from used frying oil collected from local Chinese restaurants. The study by Huseyin Sanli et al [19] conducted on 35 samples taken from different facilities producing waste frying oils (fast foods, fish restaurants, and hospital restaurants) resulted in equivalent FAMEs profiles, especially for the samples from fast foods and fish restaurants. Their FAME analysis showed that the fatty acids of these biodiesels were composed primarily of oleic acid and palmitic acid, followed by linoleic acid.…”

Effects of waste frying oil based methyl and ethyl ester biodiesel fuels on the performance, combustion and emission characteristics of a DI diesel engine

“…However, using waste vegetable oils as a biodiesel feedstock may be a solution for these types of countries. Turkey has considerable amounts of waste frying oil [1]. For commercialization of biodiesel, the cost price of biodiesel can be reduced by using waste frying oils and animal fats as feedstock.…”
