The present paper is an overview of the recent progress in the development of various CaO-
based catalysts suitable for biodiesel production. The mechanism, kinetics and optimization …

The economically significant production of carbon-neutral biodiesel from microalgae has
been hailed as the ultimate alternative to depleting resources of petro-diesel due to its high …

The primary goal of this paper is to investigate the catalyst characterization and biodiesel
yield of a biodiesel converted from a used cooking oil source via heterogeneous catalysts …

Triglycerides are the main constituents of lipids, which are the fatty acids of glycerol. Natural
organic triglycerides (viz. virgin vegetable oils, recycled cooking oils, and animal fats) are …

This article reviews various technologies that have been used for biodiesel production till
date, with a view to comparing commercial suitability of these methods on the basis of …

Steep hikes of petroleum prices and rising demand of petroleum products compels the
scientific society to think for the renewable alternative fuels like biodiesel. Biodiesel …

Biodiesel can be produced from vegetable oils, animal fats, frying oils, and from
microorganism-synthesized oils. These sources render biodiesel an easily biodegradable …

Biodiesel production process encourages use of heterogeneous catalyst over
homogeneous catalysts. The major problems associated with the use of homogeneous …

The production of biodiesel can be accomplished using a variety of feedstock sources. Plant
and microalgae based feedstocks are prominent and are studied extensively. Plant based …

In this work, response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the pretreatment
step (esterification) while the transesterification step was optimized using both RSM and …
