Biodiesel production : a review

TL;DR: In this article, the transesterification reaction is aected by molar ratio of glycerides to alcohol, catalysts, reaction temperature, reaction time and free fatty acids and water content of oils or fats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodiesel production from oils and fats with high free fatty acids

TL;DR: In this paper, a technique is described to reduce the free fatty acids content of these feedstocks using an acid catalyzed pretreatment to esterify the free acids before transesterifying the triglycerides with an alkaline catalyst to complete the reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preparation and characterization of bio-diesels from various bio-oils.

TL;DR: For different esters from the same vegetable oil, methyl esters were the most volatile, and the volatility decreased as the alkyl group grew bulkier, however, the bio-diesels were considerably less volatile than the conventional diesel fuels.

The physical chemistry of lipids : from alkanes to phospholipids

Donald Small
TL;DR: This book is oriented toward understanding the structure, function, and behavior of lipids in biological systems, concentrating in particular on the changes in state and structure that occur with changes in temperature and during lipid-water and lipid-lipid interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of branched-chain esters to reduce the crystallization temperature of biodiesel.

TL;DR: In this article, branched-chain alcohols were used to esterify various fats and oils, and the crystallization properties of the branchhed esters were compared with those of methyl esters by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), cloud point, and pour point.
