  • Can we use waste sunflower oil to synthesize biodiesel?
  • In the present work a comparatively simple, efficient, and less time-consuming transesterification route is used to process waste sunflower oil to synthesize biodiesel. The second used sunflower oil and methanol are used as reactants with an alkaline-based catalyst to produce high-yield ester and glycerol.
  • What is biodiesel & sunflower?
  • Sunflower is one of the leading oil seed crop, cultivated for the production of oil in the world. Biodiesel is gaining more and more importance as an attractive fuel due to the depleting fossil fuel resources. Chemically biodiesel is monoalkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived from renewable feed stock like vegetable oils and animal fats.
  • How to make biodiesel from sunflower oil?
  • A biodiesel from sunflower oil was prepared by transesterification in methanol, employing a novel heterogeneous catalyst that was synthesized through the impregnation of K 2 CO 3 onto Talc support in wet conditions. 40% by weight of K 2 CO 3 species fabricated upon the Talc support showcased the best catalytic activity due to its higher basicity.
  • Can transesterification be used to synthesize biodiesel with second-used sunflower oil?
  • Conclusions In the present study, the transesterification process has been utilized to synthesize biodiesel with second-used sunflower oil, methanol (alcohol), and potassium hydroxide (base catalyst). The optimized process parameters resulted in high conversion efficiency of biodiesel.
  • Can mGal-LDH based geopolymer convert waste sunflower oil into biodiesel?
  • Sayed MR et al (2020) Synthesis of advanced MgAl-LDH based geopolymer as a potential catalyst in the conversion of waste sunflower oil into biodiesel: response surface studies. Fuel 282:118865
  • Is sunflower vegetable oil a good choice for biodiesel production?
  • Therefore, the properties of biodiesel prepared from used vegetable oil were invariably close to those of commercial diesel. Thus, it can be concluded that sunflower vegetable oil is a good choice for large-scale production of biodiesel [ 20 ]. These catalysts are benign to the environment and are basically double-layered hydroxides.
