  • 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 a heterogeneous catalyst produce biodiesel from transesterification of sunflower oil?
  • A novel efficient and cost-effective heterogeneous catalyst for the production of biodiesel from transesterification of sunflower oil was prepared through the impregnation of K 2 CO 3 upon the Talc material. The physicochemical features of the catalyst were studied through several characterization analyses.
  • How would biodiesel be produced in South Africa?
  • Also seen from the results is that biodiesel would mainly be produced from sunflower seeds and soybeans on a large scale. Canola and possibly even other oilseeds would only make up a small fraction of the total feedstock required for the biodiesel production in South Africa.
  • Which seeds are suitable for biodiesel production in South Africa?
  • Sunflower seeds show a decent oil yield per hectare and are currently the main oilseed produced in South Africa which makes it the primary candidate for commercial biodiesel production. Soybeans have a lower oil yield per hectare but are also produced on large enough scale to be considered for biodiesel production.
  • Can sunflower cooking oil be converted to biodiesel?
  • Used sunflower cooking oil is converted to biodiesel by conventional transesterification process using monohydric alcohol with a catalyst of sodium hydroxide in various concentrations, to give mono-alkyl esters [ 19 ].
  • Can mGal-LDH based geopolymer convert waste sunflower oil into biodiesel?
