“…The four catalyst categories considered in this study are proved to achieve the significant conversion of low-quality oil to biodiesel [25,39,47,48]. The bulk CaO-based catalyst can be prepared using cheap resources through very simple process steps like calcination [22]. Thus, we considered this catalyst because it is very cheap and can be easily prepared from waste materials.…”

There are different technologies for biodiesel production, each having its benefits and drawbacks depending on the type of feedstock and catalyst used. In this study, the techno-economic performances of four catalyst technologies were investigated. The catalysts were bulk calcium oxide (CaO), enzyme, nano-calcium oxide, and ionic liquid. The study was mainly based on process simulations designed using Aspen Plus and SuperPro software. The quantity and quality of biodiesel and glycerol, as well as the amount of biodiesel per amount of feedstock, were the parameters to evaluate technical performances. The parameters for economic performances were total investment cost, unit production cost, net present value (NPV), internal return rate (IRR), and return over investment (ROI). Technically, all the studied options provided fuel quality biodiesel and high purity glycerol. However, under the assumed market scenario, the process using bulk CaO catalyst was more economically feasible and tolerable to the change in market values of major inputs and outputs. On the contrary, the enzyme catalyst option was very expensive and economically infeasible for all considered ranges of cost of feedstock and product. The result of this study could be used as a basis to do detail estimates for the practical implementation of the efficient process.

“…However, heterogeneous base catalysts possess the advantage of being easily recovered and reused many times without considerable loss of catalytic activity . Among such heterogeneous base catalysts in general, and from the alkaline earth metal oxides in particular, CaO catalysts display better catalytic activity, least cost, and ability to catalyze cheap feedstock, with considerable free fatty acid content, for the production of fuel‐grade biodiesel …”

“…This heterogeneous catalyst was prepared from waste mud crab shells and cockle shells with 1:1 mass ratio by calcining the mixture at 900 °C for 2 h . In another study, Sasiprapha et al investigated the optimum reaction conditions required to obtain the maximum conversion in CaO catalyzed transesterification for biodiesel production. A 92.5% conversion could be achieved under optimum reaction conditions of methanol to oil molar ratio of 9:1, catalyst amount of 3 wt% within a total reaction time of 1 h .…”

The main challenge to the wider use of biodiesel as a transport fuel has been its high cost of production. Studies have been performed to obtain the cheapest methods for biodiesel production. The calcium oxide catalyzed transesterification reaction has shown better performance for fuel‐grade biodiesel from cheaper feedstock. In this study, a calcium oxide catalyzed biodiesel production process is designed in four different scenarios based on different possible arrangements of the downstream processes. The process flow diagrams of the different scenarios were designed using Aspen Plus and Super Pro software. These process simulations were used to evaluate the techno‐economic performance of the process scenarios. Technical performance was been evaluated based on the quantity and quality of the biodiesel and glycerol produced, the amount of biodiesel produced per amount of feedstock consumed, and the amount of other valuable byproducts. Similarly, the economic performance of the process scenarios has also been assessed using parameters such as total investment cost, unit production cost, net present value, internal rate of return, payback time, and return on investment. Each of these four scenarios was divided into two production capacity levels to investigate the effect of change in production capacity on the economic feasibility of the process scenarios. The scenario with consecutive centrifugations for glycerol and soap separation, and distillation for biodiesel purification, evidenced poor technical performance, whereas the double reactor scenario provided more, and better quality, product, and the economic feasibility of this scenario was good when the oil supply rate was above 4600 kg h−1. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd

“…Calcium oxide (CaO) as heterogeneous catalyst has attracted much attention for transesterification of biodiesel production due to its high activity, low cost, and low solubility in biodiesel and methanol [4]. Several literature have studied the main resource of CaO from waste materials as heterogeneous catalyst such as crab shell [5], shrimp shell [6], river snail shell [7], animal bones [8], and egg shell [4,9] etc. Several studies have reported that the catalytic activity of the catalyst was strongly dependent on the basicity [10].…”

Abstract. The purpose of this research was to investigate the catalytic activity of Ba loading on calcium oxide (CaO) catalyst by varying the amount of barium added during the synthesis: 5-15 wt%. The waste egg shells were utilized as a CaO heterogeneous catalyst by calcined at 900 °C for 2 h. The Ba/CaO catalysts were prepared by impregnation method and were used as a catalyst in transesterification reaction of canola oil via microwave irradiation under microwave power 300 W. The characterization of catalyst and FAME composition of biodiesel were determined by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), and gas chromatography (GC-FID). The conditions of biodiesel production were operated at 60 °C, 3 wt% of catalyst loading, 9:1 methanol-to-canola oil ratio, and microwave irradiation power was 300W for 2 min. The experimental results found that, the waste egg shells consist mainly of CaCO 3 , which was decomposed to CaO more than 88 wt% after cacination step. The 15 wt% Ba/CaO catalysts exhibited the best catalytic performance with the FAME conversion higher than 97.68%.
