TL;DR: Results indicated a significant interactive effect between temperature, acid concentration, and methanol to sludge mass ratio on the FAME yield for the insitu transesterification of primary sludge, while the Fame yield for secondary sludge was significantly affected by the independent effects of the three factors investigated.

TL;DR: The results show a difference in the degree of saturation for the carbon sources tested, and cells cultivated on glycerol alone had the highest degree of unsaturated fatty acids at 53% while xylose had the lowest at 25%.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used n-hexane, methanol, acetone, and supercritical CO2 solvents to extract lipids from sewage sludge.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new validation method was proposed and was then employed to re-examine previously published adsorption kinetic data to eliminate modeling biasness and eliminate model validation tools that cannot provide any kind of certainty on the validity of a model.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of fatty acid methyl esters with different proportions of unconverted triglycerides has been evaluated, and the effect of these triglycerides on flash point, water and sediment, kinematic viscosity, sulfur content, sulfated ash, copper strip corrosion, cetane number, cloud point, carbon residue, acid number, free glycerin, acid ratio, total glycerins, phosphorus content and distillation temperature.
