Biodiesel production through the use of different sources and characterization of oils and their esters as the substitute of diesel: A review
S. P. Singh,Dipti Singh +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the source of production and characterization of vegetable oils and their methyl ester as the substitute of the petroleum fuel and future possibilities of Biodiesel production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homogeneous, heterogeneous and enzymatic catalysis for transesterification of high free fatty acid oil (waste cooking oil) to biodiesel: a review.
TL;DR: It was found that using heterogeneous acid catalyst and enzyme are the best option to produce biodiesel from oil with high FFA as compared to the current commercial homogeneous base-catalyzed process, which still suffers from serious mass transfer limitation problems and therefore is not favorable for industrial application.
Journal ArticleDOI
Opportunities and challenges for biodiesel fuel
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the perspectives for the biodiesel industry to thrive as an alternative fuel, while discussing opportunities and challenges of biodiesel, is presented, focusing on possible environmental and social impacts associated with biodiesel production, such as food security, land change and water source.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on novel processes of biodiesel production from waste cooking oil
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of novel processes such as membrane reactor, reactive distillation column, reactive absorption, ultrasonic and microwave irradiation significantly influenced the final conversion, yield and in particular, the quality of product.
