The expansion of palm oil cultivation in recent decades has led to substantial increases in
greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss from carbon-rich tropical forest. Because of …

The purpose of this article is to evaluate the performance, in terms of specific consumption in
g/kWh, of biodiesel produced from soybean oil, palm oil and residual frying oil, by means of …

Biodiesel (mixed fatty acid methyl/ethyl esters) was prepared from waste fish oil through
base-catalyzed transesterification with mixed methanol/ethanol system. Effect of …

Babassu (Orbignya sp.) is a palm with extraordinary socioeconomic and ecologic
importance found in humid tropical areas in Brazil, especially in frequently burned and …

A direct, rapid, and convenient method for the determination of iodine value (IV) of
biodiesels from vegetable oils has been developed by the application of nuclear magnetic …

The present work reports a successful attempt to produce mixed methyl/ethyl esters from a
new non-edible oil feedstock, bitter almond oil. The bitter almond oil was transesterified with …

The 21st century confronts critical challenges such as pollution, sustainability, and
environmental damage, with the escalating demand for conventional fuels exacerbating …

This paper explores the potential of seven tropical and subtropical oil crops to become
serious options as feedstock for the production of biokerosene. By means of descriptive and …

This paper presents transesterification of Babassu oil (BBO) using methanol as alcohol and
KOH as a catalyst; it showed a suitable alternative biodiesel with superior yield and lower …

The present study evaluates the nature of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) formed through
alkali-catalyzed transesterification of waste cooking oil (WCO) using methanol, ethanol as …
