Experimental study on evaluation and optimization of conversion of waste animal fat into biodiesel.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated and optimized the conversion of waste animal fat (WAF) into ethyl and methyl esters called biodiesel, and found that the physical and chemical characteristics of these esters were much closer to those of Diesel fuel than those of fresh vegetable oil or fat.

Properties of oil and char derived from slow pyrolysis of Tetraselmis chui

TL;DR: Oil and char derived from the slow pyrolysis of the unicellular marine diatom Tetraselmis chui are analysed using a variety of techniques and reveal a number of properties that are potentially valuable from an agronomic point of view, including high cation exchange capacity (CEC), large concentration of N, and a low C:N ratio.

Biofuels from waste fish oil pyrolysis: Continuous production in a pilot plant

TL;DR: In this paper, fast pyrolysis of waste fish oil was performed in a continuous pyrolynsis pilot plant. But the results showed that the fast pyrotechnical process represents an alternative technique for the production of bio-fuels from waste fishoil with characteristics similar to petroleum fuels.
