In the present work, biodiesel was produced from watermelon waste oil by the
transesterification process. A definitive screening design was used to investigate the effect of …

Oil was extracted from the seed of Hura crepitans using hexane in a soxhlet extractor and
analyzed for iodine value, saponification value and free fatty acid content. The dominant fatty …

Biodiesel fuel was successfully synthesized from Nigerian Watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris)
seed oil through direct base-catalysed transesterification process using Methanol and …

Biomass, of animal or plant origin, has been a highly sought-after energy resource for
centuries. Like bioethanol, biodiesel is a fuel produced from biomass and mainly vegetable …

In this study, two selected feedstocks, Moringa oleifera and Jatropha curcas seed oils, and
their methyl esters (biodiesel) were subjected to two new different hybridization processes at …

The aim of this research is to characterize biodiesel produced from coconut oil with a view to
finding its suitability as alternative fuel for diesel engine. Biodiesel are alternative diesel …

A major challenge in the biodiesel industry is the availability of high-quality vegetable oil
feedstocks. Thus, there is a continuous search for quality biodiesel feedstock whose …

Micro-algae are a large and diverse group of simple typically autotrophic organisms which
have the potential to produce greater amounts of non-polar lipids and biomass than most …

Optimization of the production process in biodiesel production holds huge prospects. A
reduced cost option is the optimization of process variables that affect yields and purity of …

Thermal and gaseous emissions of biodiesel feed-stocks: sandbox tree, fluted pumpkin,
black date and wild melon whose potentials as biodiesel fuels have been established in the …
