“… 121 The oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids with 77–82% made up of oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acid and less content of saturated acids for around 17–20%. 122 RSO is primarily utilized in non-food purposes such as biodiesels, 123 coatings, 124 plasticizers, 125 cosmetics, 126 etc. The oil also has been reported for the production of various types of polyurethane such as waterborne-PU, 127 foams, 128 thermosetting-PU, 129 and resins.…”

“…Blending of fuels depends largely on ambient temperature because in cold weather blending may present with challenges or fail in its objectives. There are two basic methods of blending (i) splash blending (either in a tank or in a truck), (ii) in-line blending which includes sequential blending, ratio blending, hybrid blending or side stream blending [409,410].…”

In the recent past, there has been a renewed shift into biomass and other recycled waste sources for biodiesel production and utilization. This is a critical area of research and study in which this present work intends to review and identify gaps in literature by shifting the focus of review to non-plant based sources for biodiesel production. Traditional biodiesel feedstock sources have always presented a conflict of food security versus energy. This shift will be identified in literature to see if change to non-plant-based feedstocks sources has increased food security by discouraging the contribution of commercial farming for the production of biodiesel. This work will identify biodiesel families, generations, traditional and non-traditional feedstocks for biodiesel production. It will also discuss the non-edible biodiesel feedstocks sources in relation to waste to energy recovery. The other factor this work will review is to study how the use of non-plant based feedstocks such as municipal solid waste has improved environmental protection by reducing pollution and landfilling. In other words, this work will review the impact of Using waste municipal solid biomass resources such as waste tyres and waste plastics and changing them into energy sources. This review study aims at increasing environmental awareness, sustainability and reporting the progress made in waste to energy policy shift in many countries globally. This review will look at socio-economic opportunities in recycling besides the academic and research impacts of waste to energy policies adopted in many countries. The review will climax with a conclusion and future trends in waste to energy in relation to municipal solid waste resources.

“…However, the use of these oils to produce biodiesel was discontinued due to how it affects food availability and the cost of living, especially in developing countries. Various non-edible biomass such as castor [8], tamanu [9], rubber seed [10], jatropha curcas [11], neem [12], pongamia pinnata [13], rubber seed [14], cottonseed [15] etc. have been used to produce biodiesel.…”

This study investigated the catalytic effect of thermal modified empty palm fruit bunch ash (TAEPFBA) on the transesterification reaction of Africa pear seed oil (APSO) with optimization of the process variable, and relative contribution of each variable ascertained. The TAEPFBA was synthesized from empty palm fruit bunches while the APSO was extracted via solvent extraction. The oil and catalyst were characterized using American Standard for Testing of Material (ASTM) and analytical tools. The biodiesel was produced at optimal condition and the yield of biodiesel was predicted with artificial neural network (ANN). The methyl ester produced was characterized and compared with standard properties for its application. The results showed that the oil and catalyst had comparable properties with other oils and catalysts that have been used for transesterification. The optimal conditions for transesterification reaction are temperature of 60oC, reaction time of 3hrs, 10:1 methanol/oil molar ratio, 3wt % catalyst dosage and agitation speed of 300rpm with biodiesel yield of 75%. The biodiesel produced was within the acceptable standard. The ANN predicted the yield of biodiesel with a mean square error (MSE) value of 0.0214 less than 0.05 level of significant. The contributive impact of each process variable shows that the temperature has the highest relative impact on the yield of biodiesel while the methanol/oil molar ratio has the least contribution The overall result shows that the catalyst (TAEPFBA) has the potential to convert the APSO to alkyl ester and the yield can be predicted with ANN tool.
