“…The active metal-phase that may be deposited into the zeolite and the zeolite's Bronsted acid sites are what primarily control activity.The zeolite micropores, which can be anywhere between 3 and 12 A in size, give selectivity.According to a recent assessment by Marcilly, the size and form of the micropores may cause several types of shape selectivity. [16]. One of the most popular types of zeolites is zeolite Y,ZSM-5 and zeolite beta.…”

The need for non-existent or low-cost sources to be a feedstock for the biodiesel industry as a source of lipids has led to the trend of sewage sludge (containing high fat content) and thinking about it and finding ways to benefit from it. On the other hand, he use of sludge is an environmental treatment, as it rids the environment of tons of sludge produced daily and a solution to a problem for treatment plants that were looking for ways and solutions to get rid of it and save the cost of getting rid of it and converting it into clean and promising energy. It was found that the sewage sludge in all its primary and secondary types is a feedstock rich in free fatty acids (FFA), which is the raw material for the production of biodiesel, while treating it with one of the types of catalyst alcohols. According to a review of previous studies, it was found that acidic catalysts are most suitable for biodiesel production from sewage sludge, because sewage sludge has a free fatty acid content of 65-70%, which is a high percentage. It is a severely high percentage of free fatty acids found in pure vegetable oils that do not exceed 5%. The heterogeneous acid catalysts were preferred over the homogeneous ones because of the satisfactory results they provided and the high productivity of biodiesel compared to the homogeneous ones, and they are more economical as they can be reused more than once, but also many times. Reacting sewage sludge lipids with a type of catalyst alcohol and forming biodiesel called transesterification or esterification, and it may be traditional or in-site, and in-site is more important and economical than conventional. It was found from previous references that heterogeneous catalysts in general and zeolite types in particular are the most suitable for oil extracted from sewage sludge. Where The yield reached 100% using a type of zeolite.

“…Multiple studies have been performed to analyze the efficiency of algae as a rich source of biofuel, where different types of algae (micro and macro) were considered along with various homogenous and heterogeneous catalysts. Ali A.Jazie et al studied the effects of Hβ zeolite as a functional catalyst to improve the yield of F.vesiculosus algae which produced and yield of 38.47% [8]. Nguyen Thúy Lan Chi et al proposed a technique where the bio-char produced through thermochemical conversion can be utilized as a catalyst for the biofuel production from algal biomass, showing that the selection of catalyst in hydrothermal processing is important as the quality and property of the biofuel varies accordingly [9].…”

The rising demand for cleaner energy among the nations has turned the focus from fossil fuel-based energy sources to renewables like biomass, solar, wind, etc. Biomass conversion to fuel has increased research in recent times due to its ease and availability throughout the year. Hydrothermal liquefaction is the process where biomass converts to a liquid product via complex reaction mechanisms. This review aims to summarize the hydrothermal liquefaction of algal biomass and the improvements in the bio-crude yield using heterogeneous and homogenous catalysts. Many references have been reviewed to provide the sources for the process and have been critically well structured. This review also provided information regarding the reaction pathway for algal biomass and the effects of process parameters like temperature, residence time, pH, etc. The focus of the review is on the effects of various catalysts based on their dosage whose results collected from various sources have been tabulated. The review briefly discusses the applications of products formed during hydrothermal liquefaction after post-processing.

“…On the other hand, van Hal et al [18] consider that the energy costs of harvesting are not so troublesome for macroalgae due to their larger size, although they do not present a significant content of lipids compared to microalgae. Besides, macroalgae, also known as seaweeds, are attractively evaluated as a feedstock nowadays for the production of biofuels, including biomethane [19][20][21][22]; bio-oil [23][24][25]; bioethanol [26][27][28][29][30] and biodiesel [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], and to attain several important bioproducts for chemical and pharmaceutical applications [40].…”

“…F. vesiculosus has already been explored for the production of bio-oil [24] and biomethane [21], thus, it may be interesting to explore its potential for biodiesel production with this macroalgae in mind as feedstock for an integrated process. In addition, this macroalgae oil may be an alternative to edible oils, seeking to mitigate the energy vs. food conflicts besides biorefinery applications.…”

A novel magnetic catalyst with hollow cylinder shape based on K2CO3/γ-Al2O3/Sepiolite/CoFe2O4 was prepared to convert macroalgae oil (Fucus vesiculosus) into biodiesel in an unconventional reactor assisted by magnetic field. Catalysts were formulated by the extrusion and characterized satisfactorily by physicochemical (mechanical strength, XRD, TG/DTG, FTIR and TPD-CO2), magnetic (VSM and EPR), morphological (SEM) and textural properties (BET). While their catalytic performance was also evaluated at 70 °C, oil: ethanol molar ratio 1:12 and 6 wt.% of catalyst using two different reaction systems for comparative purposes: (a) conventional stirred reactor and (b) fluidized bed reactor assisted by a magnetic field. The attained biodiesel presents properties in accordance with the standard limits (ASTM and EN) and total conversion (>99%) was observed in both cases after 2 h of reaction without significant differences between the two reactors. However, the magnetic properties of these catalysts allowed stabilization of the bed under a magnetic field and easy magnetic catalyst separation/recovery at the reaction end, showing their great potential for biodiesel production with regard to conventional process and thus, transforming it into a more sustainable technology.
