TL;DR: In this paper, a co-solvent based transesterification was used to produce biodiesel from waste beef tallow using cosolvent-based transterification. But the results showed that the fuel properties of TMEE were superior than compared to tallow methyl esters and was accounted by presence of ethyl esters.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of dominant fatty acid esters of waste animal fat biodiesel on its emission characteristics in CI engine was analyzed using GC spectra and the results showed that high exhaust gas temperature was contributed by Ethyl oleate (1.15% lesser than biodiesel), as a result of low cetane number due to unsaturation and high viscosity.

TL;DR: In this article, the engine characteristics of beef tallow biodiesel (tallow methyl ethyl ester) produced using methanol-ethanol-based co-solvent transesterification were investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of biodiesel from waste animal fats by the means of methyl-based transesterification was carried out by investigating various operating parameters like oil/alcohol molar ratio, catalyst concentration, temperature and reaction time and optimising them.

TL;DR: In this article, the degradation of crude oil using biodiesel from two different sources having different degree of saturation was studied, which is used to degrade the crude oil by dissolve the complex hydrocarbon chains in it, thereby reducing its viscosity and enhancing its handling.
