Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel production from waste cooking oil: 1. Process design and technological assessment
TL;DR: The acid-catalyzed process using waste cooking oil proved to be technically feasible with less complexity than the alkali-catalystzed process, thereby making it a competitive alternative to commercial biodiesel production by the alkaline-catalyszed process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel production from waste cooking oil: 2. Economic assessment and sensitivity analysis.
TL;DR: Plant capacity and prices of feedstock oils and biodiesel were found to be the most significant factors affecting the economic viability of biodiesel manufacture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acid-catalyzed production of biodiesel from waste frying oil
TL;DR: The reaction kinetics of acid-catalyzed transesterification of waste frying oil in excess methanol to form fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), for possible use as biodiesel, was studied in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classification of Non-alkaliphilic Halobacteria Based on Numerical Taxonomy and Polar Lipid Composition, and Description of Haloarcula gen. nov. and Haloferax gen. nov.
Marina Torreblanca,Francisco Rodriguez-Valera,G. Juez,Antonio Ventosa,Masahiro Kamekura,Morris Kates +5 more
TL;DR: The results show the existence of at least three groups with the taxonomic level of genus Halobacterium, and propose the two new genera Haloarcula and Haloferax for the nomenclatural accomodation of the three groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
pH-dissociation characteristics of cardiolipin and its 2′-deoxy analogue
TL;DR: The 2′-deoxycardiolipin analogue is chemically synthesized, which lacks the central free hydroxyl group, and its pH-dissociation behavior is measured by potentiometric titration, under the same conditions as those for CL.
