  • Is sunflower oil a good raw material for biodiesel production?
  • From a chemical reaction perspective, sunflower oil from natural sources is the leading primary raw material beneficial to biodiesel production, as the pure triglycerides conversion to fatty acid methyl ester is not only high but also with relatively short reaction time advantage [ 5 ].
  • How to make biodiesel from sunflower seeds?
  • The oil extracted from seeds was applied for biodiesel production through transesterification using a 6:1 methanol to oil molar ratio with 0.7% catalyst at 50 °C for 65 min. The process resulted in a 96.2% biodiesel yield with a heating value of 41.6 MJ/kg, corresponding to 84 kg biodiesel per ton of sunflower crop and 108.8 L gasoline-equivalent.
  • How biodiesel is produced on pilot scale from sunflower oil?
  • In this study, an environmental analysis of biodiesel production on pilot scale from sunflower oil was performed. The life cycle of biodiesel production involves different stages: 1) agricultural phases; 2) oil extraction from seeds; 3) transesterification to obtain the biodiesel; 4) distribution and 5) waste management.
  • Can India produce large-scale sunflower biodiesel?
  • With the data presented in Tables 1, 2 and 3, an attempt has been made to provide a glimpse into the existing overall picture of sunflower production in India. India ranks among the top 15 producers of sunflower, at the world level, and thus, would be able to provide raw material for possible large-scale sunflower biodiesel production.
  • How is biodiesel produced from sunflower oil?
  • In this present study biodiesel was produced from sunflower oil by base-catalyzed transesterification process. A 30 L per batch experimental installation was used to produce biodiesel using a molar ratio of alcohol to oil 6:1, a reaction temperature of 65 °C and a reaction time of 2 h.
  • Can sunflower produce biogas and biodiesel?
  • The results showed the high potential of the sunflower crop for biogas and biodiesel production, even without pretreatment and acidic transesterification. The optimum biorefinery produced 11095.0 MJ bioenergy (210.9 m 3 methane and 0.084 t biodiesel) per ton of sunflower.
