  • 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.
  • Can sunflower oil be used for biodiesel production?
  • The process involves heating of oil, followed by titration, then settling and separation and finally washing. Base catalyzed transesterification process is applied for optimum yield (80%) of biodiesel. It was concluded that sunflower oil is one of the option for biodiesel production at a large scale depending on its mass cultivation.
  • Can a green catalyst be used in biodiesel production from sunflower oil?
  • The energy equivalent and efficiencies of CGL, KGL and NGL as a catalyst in biodiesel production from sunflower oil were investigated depend on average input-output data from the various research paper of natural sources to synthesis the green catalyst and its utilisation in biodiesel production.
  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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.
