Data on kinetic, energy and emission performance of biodiesel from waste frying oil

Abstract

The data presented in this article are related to the research article “Environmental and techno-economic considerations on biodiesel production from waste frying oil in São Paulo city” (Silva Filho et al., 2018) [1]. This article presents the variation of the concentration of waste frying oil (WFO) with the reaction time and temperature during the transesterification of WTOs collected in the residences and restaurants of the city of São Paulo. Then, the biodiesel samples were mixed with the S-10 diesel oil in order to obtain the B10, B20, B30, B40, B50, B75 and B100 blends, which were tested in a diesel engine and their power, fuel consumption and gas emissions (CO, CO2 and SO2) have been measured to verify their greenhouse effect and energy efficiency.

Synthesis of fatty acid methyl esters from used vegetable oil using activated anthill as catalyst

“…Concerns have emerged on renewability and sustainability of energy. Fortunately, there are so many attractive and alternative means of replacing the fossil fuel sources [1]. Among them, is the FAME also known as biodiesel, which has not been commercialized in developing countries like Nigeria due to the high cost of production.…”

Economic and Environmental Feasibility of Cogeneration from Food Waste: A Case Study in São Paulo City

“…That makes an accounting balance in each period of the project, allowing the profits to be obtained by subtracting the costs and expenses of the revenues associated with the products. The ABC strategies were used to develop the balance sheets, considering that the prices of products were motivated by the costs associated with the production and the profit desired by the company (Miranda et al, 2018;Silva Filho et al, 2018) [53,54]. Computational techniques (Excel Solver for Windows) were used to simulate the cash flow of the biogas production project for a period of 10 years.…”

“…The environmental analysis considered the calculation of carbon credit and humus. When methane gas undergoes combustion to produce CO 2 , the Potential Global Warming Equivalent (PGWE) value is determined by the difference between the initial PGWE gas value (21) and the resulting PGWE value (1), yielding a PGWE of 20 [53]. Present negotiations for carbon credit prices average at USD 10.00.…”

Valorization of Wastes for Biodiesel Production: The Brazilian Case

“…Recently, Silva Filho and collaborators [25] produced two integrated papers where they first produced biodiesel from waste frying oil and performed a kinetic study of the transesterification reaction for each frying oil source. After that, in a diesel oil engine, they measured energy and greenhouse gas emission efficiency values.…”

“…In the search for the alternative sources to the use of oil, Brazil presented itself as a pioneer country in the use of biofuels, standing out from many countries that search for sources of renewable energy [7]. For instance, the Brazilian production of alcohol in 2009 reaches 25,866.06 m 3 , in contrast to 12,588.00 m 3 , before flex-fuel vehicle implantation. For biodiesel, the Brazilian production ( Figure 1) was 736 m 3 in 2005 to 3,419,838 m 3 in 2014 [8].…”
