“…The possible elucidation of this result could be that as the reaction time was at 180 minutes, the reaction had probably already reached its equilibrium phase. In addition to this, the backward reaction might occur after reaching the equilibrium period because this reaction, in effect, holds a reversibility nature of the reaction and consequently declines the yield [32].…”

This study attempts to synthesize biodiesel as a green liquid fuel from Jatropha curcas oil utilizing waste eggshell (WES) as an effective and excellent sustainable source of the heterogeneous catalyst under the application of environmental benign microwave heating technique. After preparing the CaO-based catalyst, diverse characterization techniques such as XRD, EDS, SEM, FITR, and BET were employed for measurements. Under different optimized conditions, a considerable high biodiesel yield of 91.7% was attained while employing the following reaction conditions; methanol to oil ratio (MTOR) of 9:1, 5 wt% catalyst loading, 165 min reaction time with a microwave power of 800 W, and a 65°C reaction temperature. The developed catalyst had significantly retained its reusability up to the 5th cycle of reuse. The catalysed transesterification process's activation energy (Ea) of 9.58 kJ/mol demonstrated that the reaction is chemically controlled. The physico-chemical properties of the Jatropha curcas oil (JCO) biodiesel were studied in accordance with international standards such as ASTM D6751 and EN14214, among others. Therefore, the waste eggshell has been utilized as a renewable base heterogeneous catalyst for novel biodiesel synthesis from JCO, which can be applied in diesel engines to lessen air pollution, specifically pollutant emissions from diesel vehicles. The results of this study are not for academic purposes only. They can also serve as models for industrial biodiesel production by exploiting bio-waste as catalysts and non-edible oils as feedstocks in microwave heating systems as environmentally friendly chemistry systems. In addition, our study uses non-consumable oil feedstock and bio-waste materials in an economical way to produce biofuel while contributing to environmental sustainability and sustainable bio-waste management. This approach extends to the existing state-of-the-art research. Therefore, the proposed value increase method contributes to integrating the circular economy concept through an efficient biorefinery model.

“…For instance, the presence of K2O as a prime component in Mangifera indica peel ash, which is predominantly accountable for the basic strength of catalysts. Moreover, the existence of CaO and MgO in Mangifera peel ash could additionally increase the catalytic performance in reactions while other amphoteric metal oxides may assist both acid-catalyzed transesterification of oil and esterification of FFAs of vegetable oil to biodiesel [70]. In addition, the variation in the elemental composition of different waste ashes may vary the catalytic activity in terms of biodiesel yield.…”

In this modern era, it has become essential to transform waste materials into valuables because of their excessive availability, along with achieving the targets of environmental protocols and waste management policies. With a growing population, the utilization and consumption of agricultural products have been increased extensively. In addition, it has increased the probability of agricultural waste generation. Waste produced from agricultural sources is considered as a viable source for synthesizing economical and ecofriendly catalysts and suitable ways for its disposal are sought. This study is targeted at agricultural waste-derived heterogeneous catalysts, which have been effectively employed for biodiesel generation. The types of agricultural waste, catalyst synthesis techniques, recent literature stated for agricultural waste-derived catalysts to produce biodiesel, the elemental composition and catalytic activity of agricultural waste ashes, the effect of reaction parameters to maximize biodiesel yield and catalyst reusability have been discussed. This work concludes that catalysts derived from agricultural waste are efficient in transesterification reaction, and they are easy to produce, and are cheap and ecofriendly. Moreover, this study encourages researchers to see the options for unexplored agricultural waste, which can be potentially converted into useful materials

“…A high yield of methyl esters (> 95 %) was also obtained using ashes from other parts of banana, such as peduncles [11,12] and stems [13][14][15]. Moreover, methanolysis of various oils was successfully carried out in the presence of husk ashes obtained from different biomass wastes, such as cocoa pod [8,16], coconut [17], and rice [18], walnut kernel [19] and palm kernel [20] shells, mango [21], and tucuma [22] peels ashes. Furthermore, ashes from bark [23], leaves [24,25], whole plants [26], and cobs [27] were used to catalyze biodiesel production.…”

Wheat straw ash (WSA) was investigated as a new catalyst in biodiesel production from sunflower oil. The catalyst was characterized by temperature-programmed decomposition, X- ray powder diffraction, Hg porosimetry, N2 physisorption, and scanning electron microscopy - energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy methods. The methanolysis reaction was tested in the temperature range of 55?65?C, the catalyst loading range 10?20 % of the oil weight, and the methanol-to-oil molar ratio range 18 : 1?24 : 1. The reaction conditions of the sunflower oil methanolysis over WSA were optimized by using the response surface methodology in combination with the historical experimental design. The optimum process conditions ensuring the highest fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) content of 98.6 % were the reaction temperature of 60.3?C, the catalyst loading of 11.6 % (based on the oil weight), the methanol-to-oil molar ratio of 18.3 :1, and the reaction time of 124 min. The values of the statistical criteria, such as coefficients of determination (R2 = 0.811, R2 = 0.789, R2 = 0.761) and the mean relative percent deviation (MRPD) value of 10.6 % (66 data) implied the acceptability and precision of the developed model. The FAME content after 4 h of reaction under the optimal conditions decreased to 37, 12, and 3 %, after the first, second, and third reuse, respectively.
