A comprehensive review on properties of edible and non-edible vegetable oil-based biodiesel: Composition, specifications and prediction models

TL;DR: In this paper, the Fatty acid (FA) profiles of 28 edible vegetable oils and 40 non-edible vegetable oils were collected and their main specifications including sulfur content, density, viscosity, flash point, cloud point, pour point, cold filter plugging point, cetane number, iodine number, heating value, acid value and carbon residual before and after transesterification (vegetable oil and biodiesel, respectively) were analyzed in detail.

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

Biodiesel production from high FFA rubber seed oil

TL;DR: A two-step transesterification process is developed to convert the high free fatty acids (FFA) oils to its mono-esters in this article, where the important properties of biodiesel such as specific gravity, flash point, cloud point and pour point are found out and compared with that of diesel.

Jatropha bio-diesel production and use

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of the currently available information on the different process steps of the production process of bio-diesel from JCL, being cultivation and production of seeds, extraction of the oil, conversion to and the use of the biodiesel and the by-products.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biofuels sources, biofuel policy, biofuel economy and global biofuel projections

TL;DR: The use of vegetable oils for making biodiesel due to its less polluting and renewable nature as against the conventional petroleum diesel fuel has been renewed interest in the use of biodiesel.

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.
