Biodiesel production based on heterogeneous process catalyzed by solid waste coral fragment

Development and Characterization of a Composite Anthill-chicken Eggshell Catalyst for Biodiesel Production from Waste Frying Oil

“…Therefore, the presence of absorption peaks at 3700-3325 cm -1 could be assigned to the OH stretching from the Ca(OH)2 formed due to the hydroscopic nature of the derived CaO-based catalyst. A similar observation was reported by Roschat et al (2012). The appearance of bands at 1469.45 and 1463.66 cm -1 are attributed to CH3 antisymmetric deformation and CH2 scissor vibration, respectively.…”

Synthesis and catalytic activity of hydration–dehydration treated clamshell derived CaO for biodiesel production

“…In chemistry, biodiesel is a mixture mono alkyl ester derived from triglycerides via transesterification reaction. Transesterification involved the reaction between triglycerides (vegetable oil or animal fats) and methyl alcohol in presence of catalyst to form biodiesel and glycerol as a by-product (Roschat et al, 2012). Biodiesel is a fuel with similar fuel properties to standard fossil diesel.…”

Advancement in the Utilization of Nanocatalyst for Transesterification of Triglycerides

“…The high amount of CaCO3 in waste shell is the source for synthesis of CaO as a catalyst. The various types of CaCO3 enriched organic wastes has been investigated as a potential catalyst for the production of biodiesel including waste shell, waste egg shell [55] , waste coral fragment [56], waste fish scale [57] and waste animal bones [58,59].…”
