“…After oil extraction microalgae cells residue can be used as rich source of carbohydrates and valuable byproducts. These results were compatible with previous researches, that the average of microalgae biodiesel production can be 10 to 20 times higher than that of other vegetable or seed oils (Rajak et al, 2019). After separation of sediments (glycerol, pigments, ect.)…”

“…The cold filter plugging point (CFPP) was (5.8) in Anabaena biodiesel which meet with the EN standards, so biodiesel can be used in cold weather. The oxidation stability is a significant fuel parameter it was higher than that required by ASTM and EN in all sample indicating good and stable biodiesel, The properties of microalgae biodiesel are very near to that of diesel, and any percentage of volume can be used without any modification in operating test engine (Rajak et al, 2019).…”

Microalgae are a potential feedstock for a vast renewable products and different applications in biotechnology. This investigation of using poultry waste extracts for growing Anabaena, Chlorella and mixed culture of both showed that 5 g/L poultry waste extract was the most probable concentration for enhancing growth and lipid production. Percentage increase in lipid content over control (BBM) was (94.2, 56.4 and 28.8 %), biomass productivity was (31.61, 51.86 and 42.04 mg/L/day) and lipid productivity was (4.59, 10.53 and 6.94 mg/L/day) for Anabaena, Chlorella and mixed culture respectively. The role of microalgae in bioremediation of poultry waste was effective, maximum reduction percentage of NH 3 was (84.07%) whereas it was (80.41%) for phosphorus. Microwave pretreatment of harvested cells increased the lipid content to 17.6% in Anabaena, 31% in Chlorella and 23% for mixture. Lipid extraction, esterification, GC-Ms analysis for fatty acid profile, showed that saturated fatty acids in Chlorella and algal mixture were higher than their corresponding controls. Cetane number of the produced biodiesel was ranged from (53.7 to 56.4) while iodine value was ranged from (63.5 to 88.4). This study revealed that poultry waste extract can be used as a promising ecofriendly microalgae medium for high production of biomass and lipid which in turn produce high quality biodiesel meet the international standards biodiesel.

“…The most significant properties of biodiesel are viscosity and density, because they affect the atomization quality, the size of fuel droplets and jet penetration, all of which affect the quality of combustion and engine performance parameters. Several studies have been conducted to investigate the effects of biodiesel blends on the performance of engines [9][10][11][12][13].…”

Effect of Biodiesel Mixture Derived from Waste Frying-Corn, Frying-Canola-Corn and Canola-Corn Cooking Oils with Various ‎Ages on Physicochemical Properties

Waste frying, corn and canola cooking oil biodiesels were produced through the transesterification ‎process and their properties were measured. Three different mixtures of biodiesel with the same blending ratio, namely, WCME1 (frying-corn biodiesel), WCME2 (frying-canola-corn biodiesel) and WCME3 (canola-corn biodiesel), were prepared. The effect ‎of ‎blending ‎biodiesel with various ages ‎‎(zero months (WCME3), eight months (WCME1), and 30 months (WCME2)) on kinematic ‎viscosity and‎ density was investigated under varying temperature and volume fraction. It was found that the kinematic viscosity of WCME2 remained within the ranges listed in ASTM D445 (‎1.9–6.0‎ mm2/s) and EN-14214‎ (‎3.5–5.0‎ mm2/s) at 30 months. It was also observed that both viscosity and density decreased as the temperature increased for each fuel sample. In order to improve the cold flow properties of the samples, the Computer-Aided ‎Cooling Curve Analysis (CACCA) technique was used to explore the crystallization/melting ‎profiles of ‎pure ‎methyl biodiesel as ‎well their blends. The results show that pure WCME2 has the lowest cold flow properties compared to other samples. Furthermore, 10 ‎correlations ‎were developed, tested and compared with generalized ‎correlations for the ‎estimation of the ‎viscosity and densities of pure biodiesels and their ‎blends. These equations depend on the temperature and volume fraction of pure components as well as the properties of the fuel.

“…The trend in biodiesel production by researchers' due to increasing pollution by the conventional diesel engines [1] have led in investment of more capital in searching for a better source of biofuel. Many studies have shown that biodiesel can be produced from many sources, some of which include edible oils, non-edible oil, waste fat of fish & animals, alcohols [2], waste tyre & plastics [3,4], waste cooking oils, microalgae [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12], etc. In conventional process of biodiesel production, a process commonly known as transesterification is used for decreasing the viscosity and density of the raw biofuel.…”

The increase study on the usage of egg shell derived Calcium oxide (CaO) being used as catalyst during biodiesel production have paved way for the need to study the effects of temperature on the calcination of egg shells. Therefore, the authors in the present study have undertaken calcination of chicken egg shells and duck egg shells at various temperatures of 800 °C, 900 °C and 1000 °C exposed at one hour. The synthesized CaO were characterised using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infra-red spectrometry (FT-IR), Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). The study have shown that there is changes in the distribution and formation of calcium, oxides and naturally occurring substance carbon, during calcination of the samples. It was observed in both the cases of chicken as well as duck egg shells that 800 °C is a decent temperature for calcinating the egg shells in producing calcium oxide catalyst.
