Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of fatty acid composition of raw materials on biodiesel properties.
TL;DR: A triangular graph based on the composition in monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and saturated methyl esters was built in order to predict the critical parameters of European standard for whatever biodiesel, known its composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Winterization of peanut biodiesel to improve the cold flow properties
TL;DR: In this work, various techniques are tested, and the best technique is found to be crystallization filtration using methanol, which reduces the CFPP from 17 degrees C to -8 degrees C with a biodiesel loss of 8.93 wt.%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of biodiesel from winery waste: extraction, refining and transesterification of grape seed oil.
TL;DR: In situ transesterification did not reach either the oil yield extraction or the alkyl ester contents but the obtained biodiesel had better oxidation stability in comparison with the conventional process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of the reaction parameters for fast pseudo single-phase transesterification of sunflower oil
TL;DR: In this paper, a factorial plus composite design was developed to carry out the optimization of sunflower oil transesterification with methanol and MTBE, and several quadratic models have been used to fit the experimental data.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Au catalysts supported on different carbon materials, such as graphite (G, 10m 2 ǫg −1 ), ribbon-type carbon nanofibers (CNF-R, 109m 2 )g − 1 ), and carbon nanospheres (CNS, 3m 2ǫ g −1 ) were prepared by the sol-gold method using tetrahydroxymethyl phosphonium chloride as the reducing agent as discussed by the authors.
