Biodiesel production from waste cooking oil: 1. Process design and technological assessment
TLDR
The acid-catalyzed process using waste cooking oil proved to be technically feasible with less complexity than the alkali-catalystzed process, thereby making it a competitive alternative to commercial biodiesel production by the alkaline-catalyszed process.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel processing and production
TL;DR: Biodiesel is an alternative diesel fuel that is produced from vegetable oils and animal fats, which consists of the monoalkyl esters formed by a catalyzed reaction of the triglycerides in the oil or fat with a simple monohydric alcohol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon-Negative Biofuels from Low-Input High-Diversity Grassland Biomass
TL;DR: Low-input high-diversity mixtures of native grassland perennials can provide more usable energy, greater greenhouse gas reductions, and less agrichemical pollution per hectare than can corn grain ethanol or soybean biodiesel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of Biodiesel via Acid Catalysis
TL;DR: A review of the research related to biodiesel can be found in this paper, where solid acid catalysts are used to replace liquid acids, reducing the corrosion and environmental problems associated with them.

Variables affecting the yields of fatty esters from transesterified vegetable oils
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that the conversion to methyl, ethyl and butyl esters from cottonseed, peanut, soybean and sunflower oils can be done in 1 hr with an alkaline catalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transesterification kinetics of soybean oil 1
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the type of alcohol, 1-butanol or methanol (MeOH), molar ratio of alcohol to SBO, type and amount of catalyst, and reaction temperature on rate constants and kinetic order were examined.

Kinetics of transesterification of soybean oil
Hossein Noureddini,D Zhu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of mixing intensity (Reynolds number = 3,100 to 12,400) and temperature (30 to 70°C) on the rate of reaction were studied while the molar ratio of alcohol to triglycerol (6:1) and the concentration of catalyst (0.20 wt% based on soybean oil) were held constant.
