“…Understanding the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of a biodiesel feedstock is important in optimizing the technologies, as well as estimating commercial feasibility. The biodiesel potential of feedstocks, such as crops, plants, and microalgae, was already generalized and characterized [16][17][18]. Nonetheless, the lipid fractions of sewage sludge may significantly depend on the state of the lipid source.…”

This study purposed to characterize the sewage sludge from various sewage treatment plants (STPs) as a biodiesel feedstock. Crude biodiesel was produced from each dried primary sludge (PS) and waste activated sludge (WAS) via in situ transesterification process. The average yield of transesterifiable lipid (TL) was 77.8% and 60.4% of the total lipid content from PS and WAS, respectively. The TL yield had a greater margin among WAS than PS samples due to differences in the biological processes adopted in each treatment plant. The TL recovered from PS and WAS contained 54.2% and 40.1% fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), respectively, which were mostly made up of palmitic acid (C16:0) and stearic acid (C18:0). The FAME composition of the biodiesel in the WAS sample was highly associated with a microbial community that grows otherwise, depending on the purpose of the biological treatment process. In particular, the increase in the proportion of nitrifying bacteria that grow predominantly under a relatively longer solid retention time (SRT) contributed significantly to the improvement in FAME content.Energies 2019, 12, 3952 2 of 12 fuel with potential for use in vehicles [6][7][8][9]. Sewage sludge, represented by primary sludge (PS) and waste activated sludge (WAS), has many benefits as a biodiesel feedstock; it is a low-cost feedstock, with abundant and consistent generation during sewage treatment, and the lipid content (necessary for conversion to fuel) in both types of sewage sludge is significant [9]. Sewage sludge as an alternative feedstock could contribute to drastically reducing the material costs of biodiesel production which account for 70-85% of the overall cost [10]. In addition, the generation of sewage sludge is plentiful and consistent on a yearly basis; thus, it can stably supplement the lack of feedstock for biodiesel. Assuming that biodiesel is produced from the total amount of sewage sludge, biodiesel production is estimated to be more than three times the current capacity in the US [11]. Various lipids, including fats, oil, and fatty acids, present in the sewage sludge are biodiesel precursors. The triglycerides (TG) and phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs), which are the predominant lipids of sewage sludge, can be converted to biodiesel via transesterification (Equations (1) and (2)). Furthermore, PS and WAS contain 5-36% and 2-20% free fatty acids (FFAs), respectively [12,13]. The sewage sludge FFAs are also convertible to fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) via acid-catalyzed esterification [14].

“…High iodine value means that biodiesel can easily be oxidized when contact with air [26] POB has an iodine value of 109.878 that is below the maximum iodine value of the biodiesel standard. The saponification value is inversely proportional to the mean molecular weight of the glycerides in an oil [18] POB has a saponification value of 191.354. Flashpoint is the minimum temperature at which the fuel will flash upon the application of an ignition source.…”

Energy is an indispensable requirement for both developed and developing societies today. However, most of the energy needs are met by fossil fuels, these resources are not renewable. Many countries are evaluating alternative sources to meet energy demand and to sustain development. In this study, oil was obtained by using Prunus avium kernels, also known as Turkish Cherry cultivated from Pozantı which is on the Taurus Mountains. Oil characterization was performed by gas chromatography (GC) and free fatty acids were determined. Oleic acid (C18:1) and Linoleic acid (C18:2) determined as 38.938 and 40.963 respectively. The free fatty acids were then evaluated using the Biodiesel Analyzer v1.2 program. The predicted results were the total percentage of monosaturated fatty acids (MUFA) 39.408, total percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) 41.042, Allylic Position Equivalents (APE) 121.146, Bisallylic position equivalents (BAPE) 41.220 respectively. On the other hand, Long Chain Saturated Factor (LCSF) is calculated as 3.624. Higher Heating Value (HHV) was calculated as 37.65Mj/kg, Cloud Point (CP) 0.099, Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) -5.091° C, Density (d) 0.838 (g/cm 3 ), Cetane Number (CN) 50.1, Iodine Value (IV) 109.878, Kinematic Viscosity 3.543, Flash Point (FP) 160.56, Saponification Value (SV) 191.354, and Oxidation Stability (OS) 5.468, respectively. As a result of this study, it was concluded that Prunus Avium kernel oil is a promising biodiesel candidate.

“…Energy security, waste and pollution reduction, food supply protection, and progress toward a circular bioeconomy and environmental sustainability are all possible outcomes of transforming WCO to renewable energy (Zhao et al, 2021). Transformation of used cooking oil into bioenergy cut 60-90% cost according to a 2018 study by Sahafi et al (2018), and doing so could aid in the movement toward "Zero Hunger" by minimizing the need to choose between fuel and food (Hosseinzadeh-Bandbafha et al, 2022).…”

Aspergillus niger lipase was employed in transesterification of used cooking oil into biodiesel. Fungus cultivated in molasses mineral medium with tryptone as the nitrogen source for 5 days at 37 °C and 6.0 pH, strain produced a maximum lipase concentration of 29.39 (U/mL). Effect of metal ions, pH, pH stability, temperature, and thermostability on lipase activity were examined. Transformation of used oil into biodiesel was carried out by employing lipase produced in the current work. Maximal fatty acid methyl ester formation was noted after 18 h, 45 °C, and a 1:05 oil-to-methanol ratio. Agitation speed and enzyme concentration also enhanced biodiesel yield. Biodiesel production reached 92% under optimal conditions. Biodiesel production is simplified by using on-site produced lipase as catalyst. These findings could be significant advancement in biodiesel production from its commercialization prospects.Novelty Statement | Utilization of onsite produced lipase from locally isolated strain to produce biodiesel from waste cooking oil.
