“…Furthermore, under the same reaction conditions, 67 to 84% ester conversion can be obtained using crude vegetable oils, compared with 94 to 97% when using refined oils [21]. Previous studies on the transesterification of crude oils of tobacco seed [26], karanja [28], sesame [30] and rice bran [42] reported 84, 86, 74 and 83.31% ester yield, respectively. Conclusively, the yield obtained in this present work is within the range of values achieved in previous studies.…”

Biodiesel's acceptance as a substitute for fossil-derived diesel has grown the world over. However, the food-fuel debate over conventional vegetable oils has rekindled research interest in exploring lesser known and minor oil crops. In this work, egusi melon seed oil was studied for the first time as a potential feedstock for biodiesel production. Crude egusi melon seed oil was transesterified using sodium methoxide as the catalyst at 60 °C and an oil/methanol ratio of 1:6 to produce its corresponding methyl esters. Egusi melon oil methyl ester (EMOME) yield was 82%. Gas chromatographic analysis of EMOME showed that it was composed mainly of palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic esters, which is similar to the profile of sunflower, soybean and safflower oil. All the measured fuel properties of EMOME satisfied both the ASTM D6751 and the EN 14214 biodiesel standards. Fuel properties of EMOME were essentially identical with those of soybean, safflower and sunflower biodiesel. Remarkably, the kinematic viscosity of EMOME was measured to be 3.83 mm 2 /s, a value lower than most biodiesel fuels reported in the literature. The potential of egusi melon seed oil as a biodiesel feedstock is clearly presented in this study. OPEN ACCESSEnergies 2010, 3 608

“…Cloud point is a temperature below which waxy appearance is observable in the fuel. Pour point is the minimum temperature that fuel can maintain its liquid and flow characteristic [26]. These parameters depend on the temperature and affect utilization of biodiesel at various climate and geographic conditions.…”

Abstract.1 In this research biodiesel is produced from goat tallow in the presence of homogenous catalysts such as KOH and NaOH using trans-esterification process. For this purpose, effect of several parameters such as temperature, reaction time, methanol to oil ratio, type and concentration of a catalyst has been investigated. The results showed that the maximum biodiesel yield (96 and 98 %) was obtained using NaOH and KOH, respectively, and optimal conditions were determined. Also, to improve some properties of biodiesel, biodiesel was mixed with diesel at different ratio (B5-B100) and their properties such as flash point, cloud point, pour point, viscosity and density were measured. It was found that the properties of produced biodiesel is in the range of standard and can be used as a biofuel.

“…A key feature of legumes as a resource for phytoremediation is their role in providing additional N-compounds to the soil, thus improving soil fertility and ability to support biological growth (Xiuli et al, 2013;Hao et al, 2014). On the other hand, sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an economically important oil seed crop of family Pedaliaceae, planted in arid and semi-arid regions of the world (Elleuch, Besbes, Roiseux, Blecker, & Attia, 2007) including Pakistan, used as an alternative feedstock for the production of a biodiesel fuel (Saydut, Duz, Kaya, Kafadar, & Hamamci, 2008). The methyl ester extracted from sesame seeds can effectively be utilized as petrodiesel (Ahmad et al, 2011).…”

Contamination of lead indicates one of the major threats to soil system. Phytoremediation technique utilized plants which are able to tolerate and accumulate metals within in their tissues. It has recently been suggested that biofuel plants are more suitable for both utilization and remediation of metal contaminated soil. This study reported Pb phytoremediation potential of Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L. in comparison with Sesamum indicum L. in the framework of a pot-experiment. Plants were subjected to seven Pb concentrations (0, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 mg kg -1 soil) for 12 weeks. Our results demonstrated that both C. tetragonoloba and S. indicum were able to tolerate Pb concentrations up to 1000 mg kg -1 which confirms the plant ability to grow well in higher Pb levels. Significant metal accumulation was observed in root along with reduced biomass for both plants species. Furthermore, both plant species could possibly be used for phytostabilization, with success in marginally polluted soils where their growth would not be impaired and decontamination of Pb could be maintained at satisfying levels. However, bioconcentration factor (BCF), bioaccumulation coefficient (BAC) and translocation factor (TF) values proposed that C. tetragonoloba was more efficient for phytoremediation than S. indicum at higher Pb levels.
