Castor biodiesel (CBD) was manufactured by slow pyrolysis of oil from highly yielded seeds with anhydrous sodium hydroxide catalyst. An experimental study of engine’s performance, emissions and combustion characteristics using biodiesel blended with gas oil in volumetric ratios of 0, 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100% at different loads was performed. Increase of CBD percentage in the blend led to a reduction in engine’s thermal efficiency, cylinder pressure, net heat release rate, and smoke emission. The exhaust gas temperature, specific fuel consumption, unburned hydrocarbon, CO, and nitrogen oxide emissions were increased with the increase of CBD ratio. Biodiesel showed the maximum increase in specific fuel consumption by 10% and the thermal efficiency was decreased by 10.5% about pure diesel. Smoke emissions were decreased for CBD100 by 12% about gas oil. The maximum increases in NOx, CO, HC emissions, and exhaust gas temperature for CBD 100 were 22, 34, 48, and 11%, respectively related to diesel oil. The maximum reductions in cylinder pressure and net heat release rate were 5 and 13% for CBD100 about gas oil, respectively. Biodiesel percentage of 10% showed near values of performance parameters and emissions to gas oil, so, it is recommended as the optimum percentage.

“…FAME production process involves some advantages due to low energy utilization, flexibility in feedstock consumption, reduced capital cost and faster reaction by employing accelerated trans-esterification at lower temperature. However, renewable or green diesel produced via hydro-processing of vegetable oils involves costly additional steps of isomerization and cracking at higher temperature and pressure [25]. Interestingly, any alteration in the fatty acid profile influences the biodiesel properties during trans-esterification process.…”

Background To meet the present transportation demands and solve food versus fuel issue, microbial lipid-derived biofuels are gaining attention worldwide. This study is focussed on high-throughput screening of oleaginous yeast by microwave-aided Nile red spectrofluorimetry and exploring pongamia shell hydrolysate (PSH) as a feedstock for lipid production using novel oleaginous yeast Rhodotorula pacifica INDKK. Results A new oleaginous yeast R. pacifica INDKK was identified and selected for microbial lipid production. R. pacifica INDKK produced maximum 12.8 ± 0.66 g/L of dry cell weight and 6.78 ± 0.4 g/L of lipid titre after 120 h of growth, showed high tolerance to pre-treatment-derived inhibitors such as 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (5-HMF), (2 g/L), furfural (0.5 g/L) and acetic acid (0.5 g/L), and ability to assimilate C3, C5 and C6 sugars. Interestingly, R. pacifica INDKK showed higher lipid accumulation when grown in alkali-treated saccharified PSH (AS-PSH) (0.058 ± 0.006 g/L/h) as compared to acid-treated detoxified PSH (AD-PSH) (0.037 ± 0.006 g/L/h) and YNB medium (0.055 ± 0.003 g/L/h). The major fatty acid constituents are oleic, palmitic, linoleic and linolenic acids with an estimated cetane number (CN) of about 56.7, indicating the good quality of fuel. Conclusion These results suggested that PSH and R. pacifica INDKK could be considered as potential feedstock for sustainable biodiesel production.

This work explores the underlying correlation between fatty acid composition and biodiesel fuel properties using artificial neural network (ANN) and establishes the complex non‐linear relationship between the fuel parameters and the significant fatty acids present in the composition of biodiesel. Six physico‐chemical properties of biodiesel, that is, specific gravity, oAPI, aniline point, cetane number, flash point, and calorific value have been assessed and a modeling framework has been developed. High value of R2 and low value of RMSE signify that ANN model captures the inherent relationship. Results demonstrate that with 1% change in arachidic acid, an increment of 21.74 MJ/Kg in heating value and a decrease of 7.17 in cetane number of biodiesel fuel take place, respectively. This suggests that the presence of a regulated amount of arachidic acid in biodiesel composition would assist in obtaining desired heat value and diesel index of biodiesel that would ultimately aid in improving fuel quality and hence, would help in obtaining higher grade biodiesel fuel. Furthermore, ANN‐based stochastic optimization techniques, genetic algorithm, and particle swarm optimization have been used to predict the maximum possible biodiesel blend that can be used in diesel engines retaining the fuel qualities.
