  • 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.
  • 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.
  • How is biofuel used in Zimbabwe?
  • Whereas the preponderance in Zimbabwe is use of solid biofuels, mainly fuelwood, with little use of liquid and gaseous biofuels. Direct combustion remains the major technology for conversion of biomass into energy. Production of liquid fuels by transesterification and fermentation was gathering momentum in the country.
  • 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 India produce large-scale sunflower biodiesel?
  • With the data presented in Tables 1, 2 and 3, an attempt has been made to provide a glimpse into the existing overall picture of sunflower production in India. India ranks among the top 15 producers of sunflower, at the world level, and thus, would be able to provide raw material for possible large-scale sunflower biodiesel production.
  • Can mGal-LDH based geopolymer convert waste sunflower oil into biodiesel?
