  • What is canola oil biodiesel?
  • Biodiesel is a renewable and eco-friendly fuel that is the most promising alternative fuel for diesel engines, and a significant amount of research and development has focused on biodiesel. Canola oil biodiesel (COB) is one type of biodiesel, and it has an advantage in oil production per unit area compared with other biodiesels.
  • How is canola oil converted into biodiesel?
  • Canola oil is converted into biodiesel during transesterification (the most common process of producing fuel in a biorefinery). The obtained fuel is sent to storage and DCs using transportation vehicle type (3). Finally, produced biodiesel fuel is transported to the demand zones by the same transportation vehicle to meet the market zone¡¯s demand.
  • Can canola be used as a biofuel?
  • Canola can be processed into low-carbon biofuels, namely biodiesel but also renewable diesel and aviation fuel. It can also be utilized at petroleum refineries to lower the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of transportation fuels. These biofuels are made from canola oil, a natural and renewable resource.
  • Can biodiesel be made using canola oil as a feedstock?
  • In this research, biodiesel was manufactured using canola oil as a feedstock and titanium dioxide / calcium oxide (TiO2/CaO) as a catalyst. The aim of this study is to prepare the catalyst, investigate the transesterification process and measure the chemical and physical biodiesel properties.
  • Does canola oil contain phospholipids?
  • Canola oil, a vegetable oil used in biodiesel production, contains approximately 300 ppm of phospholipids. Phospholipids contained in canola oil decrease the efficiency of biodiesel separation, resulting in low productivity of transesterification.
  • Can biodiesel be produced from canola oil and TiO2 Cao?
  • Therefore, biodiesel can be produced from canola oil and TiO2/CaO, but this still needs more studies on several topics such as the blending of canola with multi feedstocks, the ethanol impact and catalyst poisoning in the case of using TiO2-CaO as a catalyst.
