An Overview of Production, Properties, and Uses of Biodiesel from Vegetable Oil

Stochastic economic evaluation of different production pathways for renewable propylene glycol production via catalytic hydrogenolysis of glycerol

“…1 Biodiesel is a promising alternative to petroleum-based fuels in diesel engines, furnaces, and stationary equipment. 2 The increased demand and production of biodiesel have led to a rise in crude glycerol production. On average, for every 1 m 3 of biodiesel, 0.1 m 3 of crude glycerol is produced.…”

Developments in Titanium‐Based Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metal Oxide Catalysts for Sustainable Biodiesel Production: A Review

“…[5,6] Biodiesel is utilized with or without blending with diesel fuel in the diesel engines for stationary engines, vehicular engines and in power-generators. [7,8] For biodiesel generation different kinds of feedstocks such as waste cooking oil, [9] non-edible oils [10] and industrial waste sources [11,12] are used and these feedstocks are highly preferred than edible oil sources towards reducing the biodiesel production cost. [13][14][15] However, these feedstocks are often challenging to manage due to their high water and free fatty acid (FFA) contents, which necessitates the pretreatments in presence of a suitable and sufficient amount of catalyst for providing optimal conversion efficiency.…”

Métodos para simplificar a caracterização e para determinar parâmetros de qualidade de óleo vegetal, de biodiesel e de blenda diesel-biodiesel

“…Entretanto, por razões econômicas e técnicas, ele não foi capaz de competir com o diesel de petróleo. Já o biodiesel, é um exemplo da efetiva implementação da biomassa para produção de energia, e apresenta grande potencial para contribuir na demanda energética (ROY et al, 2016;LÔBO et al, 2009).…”
