Renewable technologies are considered as clean sources of energy and optimal use of
these resources minimize environmental impacts, produce minimum secondary wastes and …

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the main issues concerned with the oxidative and
storage stabilities of biodiesel and how they affect different metallic and polymeric materials …

Microalgae biodiesel has captured the attention as a clean renewable fuel for diesel
engines due to their positive characterizations such as high productivity, fast growing rate …

In this investigation, castor methyl ester (CME) was prepared by transesterification using
potassium hydroxide (KOH) as catalyst and was used in four stroke, single cylinder variable …

The world tendency in last years is to restrict the use of fossil fuels and replace them partially
or totally by renewable fuels. Accordingly, biodiesel is being studied as one of the main …

The transesterification reactions of castor oil with ethanol and methanol as transesterification
agents were studied in the presence of several classical catalytic systems. The effects of the …

In this work two genus of the Jatropha family: the Jatropha gossypiifolia (JG) and Jatropha
curcas L.(JC) were studied in order to delimitate their potential as raw material for biodiesel …

In this paper, parameters affecting castor oil transesterification reaction were investigated.
Applying four basic catalysts including NaOCH3, NaOH, KOCH3 and KOH the best one with …

Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) from castor oil have been synthesized by methanolysis
catalyzed by sodium methoxide and the optimal transesterification conditions have been …

The main factors responsible for the oxidative processes of biodiesel are oxygen, metal
traces, high temperature and the amount of unsaturated fatty acids. The biodiesel quality is …
