Biodiesel production using lipase immobilised functionalized magnetic nanocatalyst from oleaginous fungal lipid

TL;DR: Biodiesel produced using the lipase immobilised on the magnetic nanoparticle was found to be within the limit specified by American society of testing materials standards and the physio-chemical properties of the biodiesel was analysed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Features of the biochemistry of Mycobacterium smegmatis, as a possible model for Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

TL;DR: This publication provides aggregate data on cell shape, genome studies, ecology, pathology and utilization of M. smegmatis, an alternate host for mycobacteria which is used frequently.
Journal ArticleDOI

Waste crab shell derived CaO impregnated Na-ZSM-5 as a solid base catalyst for the transesterification of neem oil into biodiesel

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that the calcium oxide impregnated Na-ZSM-5 can be used as a potential catalyst for biodiesel production and achieved 95% yield as 95% has been achieved with 15% of the CaO impregnant on Na-Sm-5 at 75°C, and the optimum transesterification reaction conditions were identified as follows: reaction temperature, 75 °C; reaction time, 6h; methanol-to-neem oil molar ratio, 12:1; catalyst dosage, 0.2
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of fatty acid composition on process optimization and characteristics assessment of biodiesel produced from waste animal fat

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the process optimization and characteristic assessment of waste animal fat (WAF) biodiesel based on the influence of fatty acids characterized in it, and evaluate the performance of WAFs.
