Non-edible vegetable oils: A critical evaluation of oil extraction, fatty acid compositions, biodiesel production, characteristics, engine performance and emissions production

TL;DR: The use of non-edible plant oils is very significant because of the tremendous demand for edible oils as food source as mentioned in this paper, however, edible oils’ feedstock costs are far expensive to be used as fuel.

An evaluation of multipurpose oil seed crop for industrial uses (Jatropha curcas L.): A review

TL;DR: Jatropha curcas, a multipurpose, drought resistant, perennial plant belonging to Euphorbiaceae family is gaining lot of importance for the production of biodiesel as mentioned in this paper, it is a tropical plant that can be grown in low to high rainfall areas either in the farms as a commercial crop or on the boundaries as a hedge to protect fields from grazing animals and to prevent erosion.

Biodiesel production with immobilized lipase: A review

TL;DR: The current status of biodiesel production with immobilized lipase is reviewed, including various lipases, immobilization methods, various feedstocks, lipase inactivation caused by short chain alcohols and large scale industrialization.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of biodiesel production from Jatropha curcas L. oil

TL;DR: In this paper, an attempt has been made to review the different approaches and techniques used to generate biodiesel from Jatropha curcas oil and the main factors affecting the biodiesel yield, for example the molar ratio of alcohol to oil, catalyst concentration, reaction temperature and reaction time are discussed.

Biodiesel fuel production by transesterification of oils.

TL;DR: Biodiesel (fatty acid methyl esters), which is derived from triglycerides by transesterification with methanol, has attracted considerable attention during the past decade as a renewable, biodegradable, and nontoxic fuel.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enzymatic alcoholysis for biodiesel fuel production and application of the reaction to oil processing

TL;DR: In this paper, a stepwise methanolysis system with immobilized Candida antarctica lipase was developed for the production of biodiesel fuel from waste oil, where the first-step reaction was conducted in the presence of 1/3 molar equivalent of MeOH for the stoichiometric amount.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conversion of vegetable oil to biodiesel using immobilized Candida antarctica lipase

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors attempted continuous methanolysis of vegetable oil by an enzymatic process, which was conducted by adding methanol stepwise to avoid lipase inactivation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipase-catalyzed production of biodiesel

TL;DR: Conditions were established for converting tallow to short-chain alkyl esters at more than 90% conversion and these same conditions also proved effective for transesterfying vegetable oils and high fatty acid-containing feedstocks to their respective alKYl ester derivatives.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative study on lipase-catalyzed transformation of soybean oil for biodiesel production with different acyl acceptors

TL;DR: Methyl acetate, a novel acyl acceptor for biodiesel production, seems very promising for lipase-catalyzed large-scale production of biodiesel, and the by-product triacetylglycerol is an important chemical with a higher value than glycerol.
