Metal–organic framework-based functional catalytic materials for biodiesel production: a review

Abstract

Biodiesel is a type of widely recognized environmentally friendly and sustainable biofuel. The key point for the industrial manufacturing of biodiesel is its cost, especially the price of raw oil...

Two-step preparation of Keggin-PW12@UIO-66 composite showing high-activity and long-life conversion of soybean oil into biodiesel

“…Biodiesel, representing a clean and sustainable energy source, is a promising alternative for fossil fuel-based energy systems. 36,37 The raw material-vegetable oil comprises of fatty glycerides and small amount of free fatty acids. The simultaneous transesterication and esterication can convert all of them into fatty acid methyl ester (FAME).…”

Heterogeneous Nanocatalyst for Biodiesel Synthesis

“…Cong et al. provided an excellent review on MOF‐based nanocatalyst for biodiesel production, highlighting (i) the use of MOF‐based catalysts in the preparation of biodiesel, (ii) the comparison and evaluation of MOF‐based nanocatalyst with other heterogeneous catalysts, and, (iii) the use of ultrasound and microwave for MOF‐based nanocatalyst applications to produce biodiesel through transesterification and esterification processes [85] …”

[85] Xie and Huang [86] developed magnetic graphene oxides and employed it as magnetic carriers to immobilise Candida rugose lipase via interfacial activation of enzyme on hydrophobic surfaces. With a biodiesel output of 92.8 %, the immobilised lipase exhibited significant catalytic activity in the transesterification reaction.…”

The Chemistry and Applications of Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) as Industrial Enzyme Immobilization Systems

“…Several authors have published reviews that discuss biocatalysts composed of enzymes and MOFs, addressing the most common methods of synthesis and immobilization of these composites, as well as their several applications [ 86 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 , 99 ]. In this scenario, this review intends to update the discussion of MOFs as highly relevant materials for a wide range of applications, as well as to discuss their roles and mechanisms of action as supports for enzymatic immobilization, and the different combinations for the formation of enzyme–MOF composites to diverse ends, such as catalysis, medicine, and in biosensor manufacturing, among others.…”
