  • Is anhydrous production of biodiesel from soybean oil and methanol an original work?
  • We warrant that the article Anhydrous Production of Biodiesel from Soybean Oil and Methanol, Catalyzed by Calcium Oxide in a Recycle Reactor submited to South African Journal of Chemical Engineering is the Authors' original work. We warrant that the article has not received prior publication and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
  • Which raw material is used in biodiesel production?
  • In Brazil, for example, soybean oil is the most utilized raw material for biodiesel production. The soybean oil is a renewable feedstock, which is one very important motivation of using biodiesel.
  • What oils are used in biodiesel production?
  • Fatty acid methyl ester There are different types of oils and fats that may be used as feedstocks for biodiesel production. These include various oils such as babassu, canola, coconut, cottonseed, jatropha, linseed, olive, palm, peanut, rapeseed, safflower, soybean, and sunflower.
  • Is soybean oil a renewable feedstock?
  • The soybean oil is a renewable feedstock, which is one very important motivation of using biodiesel. However, the PL content in the crude soybean oil ranges from 250 to 1,200 ppm [ 9 ], becoming mandatory the PL removal from the feedstock before its processing.
  • What factors affect the yield of biodiesel based on crude soybean oil?
  • In the present study, crude soybean oil was investigated on the basis of three principal variables, such as optimum reaction temperature (60°C), the amount of catalyst concentration from 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5% and molar ratio of methanol 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5 and 1:6, respectively affecting yield of biodiesel.
  • How to produce biodiesel?
  • The production of oil seeds, Transesterification of vegetable oils with short-chain alcohols is used to produce biodiesel. In the biodiesel. Under optimum condition, at molar ratio 1:6 in the presence of 0.5% NaOH and 60°C reaction temperature and 350 rpm approximately 99.1% biodiesel yield was obtained.
