“…The prepared flask was agitated with orbital shaker (Sartorius, Germany). Then the flask was removed and allowed to settle a bit before the supernatant was withdrawn for analysis of ammonia nitrogen [14]. The adsorption data of ammonia nitrogen by EFB were further analysed using the two commonly used models, namely Langmuir and Freundlich models to ascertain the favourability of the adsorbent.…”

“…Engine performance and fuel consumption were favorable making it a better substitute diesel [10][11][12][13][14][15]. There are at least four ways in which oils and fats can be converted to biodiesel namely: pyrolysis (thermal cracking), microemulsification, dilution and transesterification [16,17].…”

The need for fossil fuels and the emissions generated from these fuels are increasing daily. Researchers are concerned with global warming as well as climate change; and energy sustainability and material usages are important issues today. Waste cooking oil (WCO) can be processed into biodiesel as an alternative fuel to replace diesel. Production of biodiesel using WCO as the feedstock has been of growing interest for the last two decades. A number of research papers related to the improvements in production, raw materials and catalyst selection have been published. This paper reviews the various types of heterogeneous solid catalyst in the production of biodiesel via the transesterification of WCO. The catalysts used can be classified according to their state presence in the transesterification reaction as homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts. Homogeneous catalysts act in the same liquid phase as the reaction mixture, whereas heterogeneous catalysts act in a solid phase with the reaction mixture. Heterogeneous catalysts are non-corrosive, a green process and environmentally friendly. They can be recycled and used several times, thus offering a more economic pathway for biodiesel production. The advantages and drawbacks of these heterogeneous catalysts are presented. Future work focuses on the application of economically and environmentally friendly solid catalysts in the production of biodiesel using WCO as the raw material.

“…The key issues in using this fuel are the oxidation stability, the stoichiometric point, the bio-fuel composition, antioxidants on degradation and the volume of oxygen compared to diesel [3][4][5]. In addition, although biofuels are more attractive and economical, they create problems of higher emissions compared with petroleum-based diesel [6][7][8]. This is due to the problems of emitting NOx and particulate matter (PM) into the atmosphere as a result of the oxidation stability, the cetane number, the stoichiometric point, the biofuel composition and the extremely viscous antioxidants on degradation [9].…”

Biofuels based on vegetable oils offer the advantages of being sustainable, annually renewable sources of automobile fuel. Despite many years of improvement, use of vegetable-oil-based fuels still has issues, such as oxidation, the stoichiometric point, bio-fuel composition, antioxidants on degradation and the volume of oxygen compared to diesel. Thus, improvements in the emissions from diesel engines fueled by a blend of crude jatropha oil with diesel could be the requirement to meet the reduced emissions regulations in the future. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects on the vehicle's performance and exhaust emissions of the combustion process of blended crude jatropha oil and palm oil with different ratios. The engine speed was varied from 1500~3000 rpm, the load test condition was varied from 0~100% using a Dynapack chassis dynamometer and crude jatropha oil with a diesel blending ratio from 5~15vol% (CJO5~CJO15) was used. A decrease in HC emissions was found in the combustion process as the ratio of the blend of crude jatropha oil with diesel was increased and also with nearly equal engine performance. The increase in the jatropha oil biodiesel blending ratio promoted the reduction of HC, CO and CO 2 emissions in the range 10vol% to 15vol% of the blends. The improvement in the combustion process with the higher blending ratio is expected to be strongly influenced by the oxygen contained in the blended crude jatropha oil.
