“…The corrosiveness or compatibility of the blends should be critically considered and analyzed along with properties that affect the safety of the diesel engine. Some selected additives known as cold flow improvers (CFI) or pour point depressors (PPD) were tested with biodiesel with the success of 10 wt% reduction in the cloud point [138].…”

“…An additive supplied by Wintron Synergy, a combination of polymethacrylate compounds in a mineral oil solution, was used with biodiesel-diesel blends to address multiple idling conditions of a modern Tier 4 diesel engine Roy, et al [138]. With the interest of combining two different multifunctional organic additives, it will be possible to have positive physicochemical effects on the injection, ignition and combustion of a diesel-ethanol blend.…”

An algal feedstock or biomass may contain a very high oil fraction, and thus could be used for the production of advanced biofuels via different conversion processes. Its major advantage apart from its large oil fraction is the ability to convert almost all the energy from the feedstock into different varieties of useful products. In the research to displace fossil fuels, algae feedstock has emerged as a suitable candidate not only because of its renewable and sustainable features but also for its economic credibility based on the potential to match up with the global demand for transportation fuels. Cultivating this feedstock is very easy and could be developed with little or even no supervision, with the aid of wastewater not suitable for human consumption while absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. The overall potential for algae applications generally shows that this feedstock is still an untapped resource, and it could be of huge commercial benefits to the global economy at large because algae exist in millions compared to terrestrial plants. Algae applications are evident for everyday consumption via foods products, non-foods products, fuel, and energy. Biofuels derived from algae have no impact on the environment and the food supply unlike biofuels produced from crops. However, any cultivation method employed could control the operating cost and the technicalities involved, which will also influence the production rate and strain. The scope of this paper is to review the current status of algae as a potential feedstock with diverse benefit for the resolution of the global energy demand, and environmental pollution control of GHG.

“…Additionally, they have energy security, nontoxicity, local availability, and recyclability [18][19][20]. Usually, biofuels are obtained from plants, waste oils, and animal fats through a variety of processing methods, and their fuel properties change with the different feedstocks [21,22].…”

Abstract:In this study, the application effects of canola oil biodiesel/diesel blends in a common rail diesel engine was experimentally investigated. The test fuels were denoted as ULSD (ultra low sulfur diesel), BD20 (20% canola oil blended with 80% ULSD by volume), and PCO (pure canola oil), respectively. These three fuels were tested under an engine speed of 1500 rpm with various brake mean effective pressures (BMEPs). The results indicated that PCO can be used well in the diesel engine without engine modification, and that BD20 can be used as a good alternative fuel to reduce the exhaust pollution. In addition, at low engine loads (0.13 MPa and 0.26 MPa), the combustion pressure of PCO is the smallest, compared with BD20 and ULSD, because the lower calorific value of PCO is lower than that of ULSD. However, at high engine loads (0.39 MPa and 0.52 MPa), the rate of heat release (ROHR) of BD20 is the highest because the canola oil biodiesel is an oxygenated fuel that promotes combustion, shortening the ignition delay period. For exhaust emissions, by using canola oil biodiesel, the particulate matter (PM) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions were considerably reduced with increased BMEP. The nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions increased only slightly due to the inherent presence of oxygen in biodiesel.

“…Additionally, they have energy security, nontoxicity, local availability and recyclability [5][6][7]. Furthermore, other advantages for the use of biodiesel are not limited to its lower Sulphur content, improved combustion efficiency, higher biodegradability, domestic origin, and enhanced lubrication properties [6]. Likewise, it can be used in diesel engines in a blended form with conventional diesel transesterification process using VCO and WCO has not yet been studied.…”

“…The use of biodiesel as an alternative fuel is becoming imperative due to the depletion of fossil fuels, and can significantly reduce CO and particulate matter (PM) emissions as they contain oxygen.

Abstract:Comparative analysis of transesterification of virgin cooking oil (VCO) and waste cooking oil (WCO) in catalyzed and supercritical transesterification process using methanol and ethanol as solvents has been conducted in this study. The luminous point of this research was the direct comparison of catalytic and supercritical process using the ester composition obtained from virgin cooking oil and waste cooking oil transesterification. Oil to alcohol molar ratio of 1:6 and reaction condition of 65 • C and 1 bar pressure were considered for the catalytic process, while 260 • C and high pressure (65 and 75 bar for methanol and ethanol, respectively) were accounted for the supercritical process. Distinct layer separation was observed for both processes. Ester, fatty acid and glycerol composition was studied for both the upper and lower layers separately, from which 100% ester composition in the upper layer and a mixture of ester and other composition in the lower layer was obtained for the catalytic process owing to succeeding filtration and washing. However, mixture of ester (>75%) and other composition was obtained in both layers for the supercritical process where purification process was not implemented. The similarity in the result obtained demonstrates the superiority of waste cooking oil compared to virgin cooking oil, taking cost into consideration.
