Biodiesel production--current state of the art and challenges.
TL;DR: Different biodiesel sources (edible and nonedible), virgin oil versus waste oil, algae-based biodiesel that is gaining increasing importance, role of different catalysts including enzyme catalysts, and the current state-of-the-art in biodiesel production are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the current state of biodiesel production using enzymatic transesterification
TL;DR: This review presents a critical analysis of the current status of research in enzymatic biodiesel production and accentuates the main obstacles to the widespread use of enzymes for commercial biodiesel transesterification.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of enzymatic production of biodiesel.
TL;DR: The use of tert-butanol as solvent, continuous removal of glycerol, stepwise addition of methanol, and continual removal of Glycerol are found to reduce the inhibitory effects thereby increasing the cost effectiveness of the enzymatic process.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of current technology for biodiesel production: State of the art
Elizabeth Funmilayo Aransiola,Tunde Victor Ojumu,Oluwaseun Oyekola,T. F. Madzimbamuto,Dio Ikhu-Omoregbe +4 more
TL;DR: This review shows that while emphasis is on the use of micro alga oil sources, the viability of the economics of the process is still in doubt, and a proposal for the exploitation of heterogeneous catalysts from natural sources to optimize biodiesel production is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on FAME production processes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the literature on transesterification reaction using homogeneous, heterogeneous and enzyme catalysts for bio-diesel and employed ultrasound, microwave and supercritical alcohol techniques.

Biodiesel production : a review
Fangrui Ma,Milford A. Hanna +1 more
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 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
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
Continuous production of biodiesel fuel from vegetable oil using immobilized Candida antarctica lipase
TL;DR: A three-step methanolysis was developed by which over 95% of the oil triacylglycerols (TAG) were converted to their corresponding methyl esters (ME) by Candida antarctica lipase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analytical monitoring of the production of biodiesel by high-performance liquid chromatography with various detection methods.
TL;DR: Gradient elution reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was used for the determination of compounds occurring during the production of biodiesel from rapeseed oil to quantitate residual TGs in the final biodiesel product.
