  • What is biodiesel production process development?
  • In order to fulfill the range of oily feedstock, the biodiesel production process development is targeted at the usage of used oils and fats, waste fats, side-stream products of refined edible oil production, non-edible oils and algae oils.
  • What biodiesel is produced by ethanol synthesis?
  • Forage turnip, sunflower, and soybean biodiesel obtained by ethanol synthesis: production protocols and thermal behavior A comparative study of the production of ethyl esters from vegetable oils as a biodiesel fuel optimization by factorial design An experimental comparison of transesterification process with different alcohols using acid catalysts
  • What are biodiesel production feedstocks?
  • In current technologies, biodiesel production feedstocks were generally edible vegetable oils such as rapeseed and sunflower seed oil in Europe, soybean oil in USA and palm oil in tropical countries . Edible oils have a significant application in food industry, and their prices are relatively high.
  • How is biodiesel made?
  • Biodiesel is usually obtained by transesterification of oils or fats by reacting a short-chain alcohol, like methanol, in the presence of a homogeneous base- catalyst (typically NaOH). The most common raw materials for production of biodiesel are vegetable oils from sunflower, soybean, oil palm and other (Knothe, 2005; Dias, 2008).
  • Why do we need a vegetable oil ethanolysis process for biodiesel production?
  • The toxicity of methanol, the risk of the methanol vapor explosion and the possibility of the ethanol production from biorenewable resources have contributed to the development of a vegetable oil ethanolysis process for the biodiesel production.
  • Can vegetable oils produce biodiesel?
  • The purpose of this work is to investigate biodiesel production processes from vegetable oils. Biodiesel fuel can be made from new or used vegetable oils and animal fats, which are non-toxic, biodegradable, renewable resources. The vegetable oil fuels were not acceptable because they were more expensive than petroleum fuels.
