Biodiesel fuel has shown great promise as an alternative to petro-diesel fuel. Biodiesel
production is widely conducted through transesterification reaction, catalyzed by …

Heterogeneous catalysts are promising for the transesterification reaction of vegetable oils
to produce biodiesel. Unlike homogeneous, heterogeneous catalysts are environmentally …

Presence of water during biodiesel production and purification processes, storage and use
in compression ignition (diesel) engines causes problems that cannot be ignored. These …

To develop reliable models for the densities and viscosities of biodiesel fuel, reliable data for
the pure fatty acid esters are required. Densities and viscosities were measured for seven …

In biodiesel production, downstream purification is an important step in the overall process.
This article is a critical review of the most recent research findings pertaining to biodiesel …

In this work the response surface methodology (RSM) in conjunction with the central
composite design (CCD) were used to optimize the activity of CaO/Al2O3 solid catalysts for …

Density is an important biodiesel parameter, with impact on fuel quality. Predicting density is
of high relevance for a correct formulation of an adequate blend of raw materials that …

Biodiesel is an alternative to fossil-derived diesel with similar properties and several
environmental benefits. Biodiesel production using conventional catalysts such as …

This study aims to investigate the density and viscosity of ternary biodiesel blends. Fuel
density and viscosity play an important role in the fuel injection system, flame propagation …
