Biofuels are a class of clean fuels and promising for energy demand. Biodiesel is relatively
costly, which limits the commercialization of the product. The waste edible oil and animal fats …

High demand for energy consumption forced the exploration of renewable energy
resources, and in this context, biodiesel has received intensive attention. The process of …

This paper aims to examine the influence of various catalysts on biodiesel production,
especially from non-food feedstocks with an ambition to optimize the catalytic biodiesel …

Rice husk is a rich source of waste silica which has potential for application in the
preparation of porous materials for use as catalyst supports or sorbents. Here we report on …

An amine-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) was prepared for use as a
basic heterogeneous catalyst for the conversion of Cocos nucifera (coconut) oil and …

The pore size, surface area, and density of silica gel were controlled by drying silica alcogel
in ambient conditions and using supercritical ethanol extraction to obtain silica xerogel and …

In bio-refinery and other catalytic reactions, heterogeneous catalysts confer advantage over
homogenous catalysts due to minimized recovery and separation costs. However …

Preparation of useful materials using renewable resources, which are not in competition with
food production is of particular importance in the current efforts to replace non-renewable …
