“…The existing water promotes the decomposition of esters in glycerol and fatty acids, which, combined with the fatty acids already free, saponify with the basic catalyst (soap formation) thus decreasing the efficiency of the transesterification. Feuge and Grose highlighted the importance of using dry oils and a fatty acid content of less than 0.5% by weight [9]. A basic catalyst is used in the transesterification of triglycerides with a low content of fatty acids.…”

Ricinus communis is a species that belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family and it is commonly known as castor oil plant, and Palma Christi. This plant originates in Africa but it is found in both wild and cultivated states in all the tropical and subtropical countries of the world. In wild conditions this plant is well-adapted to arid conditions and is able to stand long periods of drought.Results of transesterification experiments of castor oil with methanol are presented. The castor biodiesel has very interesting properties (very low cloud and pour points) that show that this fuel is very suitable for using in extreme winter temperatures.

“…Kinast [17] mentioned in a NREL report that other uses of crude glycerin have been considered, including for dust suppression on highways and other dirt roads. It has been reported that concentrated crude glycerin is highly effective for dust control, and in some cases, it outperforms other dust control agents.…”

An increasing number of countries and areas in the world suffer from either natural or anthropogenic dust, which results in a serious hazard with respect to the environment and to personal health and safety. This paper reviews and summarizes open literature involving the use of glycerin in dust control applications. Glycerin, a by-product from biodiesel manufacturing, has been evaluated for dust suppressant performance when applied alone as aqueous solutions, or in combinations with surfactants, polymers, or other chemicals. There are reports indicating that glycerin is effective in some dust suppression applications, although details about its use and performance metrics are generally lacking. Recent growth of the biodiesel industry has significantly increased the supply of crude glycerin, making it an economically attractive material for use in dust suppression. This paper also highlights several environmental accidents caused by irresponsible discharges of crude glycerin, and points out the need to understand environmental consequences of glycerin and its impurities when used in dust suppression applications.

“…In the transesterification simply depicted in Fig. 2, feedstock in forms of triglycerides reacts with methanol in the presence of a catalyst to yield fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) and by-products (Kinast, 2003). The by-products generally are glycerol, water, methanol and catalyst traces, and un-reacted triglycerides (Babu & Devaradjane, 2003).…”
