The inconveniences of the conventional method for biodiesel production by alkaline
catalysis suggests research towards alternative methods, with the non-catalytic …

Abstract Inappropriate disposal of Used Cooking Oils (UCOs) can generate major problems,
such as the operational problems occurring in wastewater treatment plants when discharged …

Biodiesel is a promising alternative to fossil energy, especially when non edible feedstocks
are used in the production process. In the present work, biodiesel was produced from …

Biodiesel from non-edible seeds has attracted the attention of the authors to investigate
Hevea brasiliensis (HB) and Ricinus communis (RC) as potential feedstocks. Biodiesel …

The catalyst-free transesterification of castor oil under supercritical conditions, using
methanol, was studied in this research to determine the molar ratio (methanol: castor oil) …

The growth in the global fuel consumption is expected to continue unabated. At the same
time, nations around the globe are trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions resulting from …

Catalyst-free biodiesel production from non-edible Ceiba pentandra (kapok) oil via
supercritical methanol transesterification was demonstrated in this work. The supercritical …

The oil extracts from palm kernel cake were obtained with supercritical CO 2 at temperatures
of (40–80)° C and pressures of (150–350) bar. The highest extraction yield on dry basis was …

The non-catalytic esterification of oleic acid with supercritical ethanol was carried out in a
tubular reactor at different temperatures (150–300° C), molar ratios (1: 1–6: 1) and …
