  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Can sunflower oil be used for biofuel production?
  • The residues of the sunflower crop are inexpensive and widely available substrates. These waste streams are typically burned or even left unused, creating serious environmental issues. In the present study, sunflower oil and its residues are used for biofuel production in the biorefinery framework.
  • Is sunflower oil better than palm oil for biodiesel?
  • Different oil sources such as corn, and grapeseed can be used in its production, however, sunflower oil has proved to have better fuel quality as compared to other oil sources [ 17, 18 ]. Furthermore, Simbi et al. [ 19 ], reported enhanced fuel quality of biodiesel produced from waste sunflower oil as compared to waste palm oil.
  • Can sunflower waste cooking oil be produced over enhanced bifunctional catalyst?
  • In this study, the production of FAME from sunflower waste cooking oil over the enhanced bifunctional catalyst was studied, to investigate the relationships between selected conditions of time, temperature and catalyst loading in obtaining a maximum yield, and optimum reaction conditions for the transesterification.
  • What is the water content of sunflower biodiesel?
  • According to Table 6, the produced sunflower biodiesel had a water content of 0.03 wt% which was below the maximum limits allowed by international standards. This was lower than those found in literature for biodiesel produced from sunflower and waste cooking oils [ 36, 77 ].
