Steep hikes of petroleum prices and rising demand of petroleum products compels the
scientific society to think for the renewable alternative fuels like biodiesel. Biodiesel …

Biodiesel is eco-friendly, less toxic and one of the most researched biofuels in recent years
to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and minimize emissions. The various problems …

Thermal transport in metal foams has received growing attention in both academic research
and industrial applications. In this paper the recent research progress of thermal transport in …

Process intensification is a valuable strategy to improve the performance of production
processes. It may allow reductions on costs and environmental impact, and enhancements …

In this paper, cloisite 30B (CL) was converted to tosylated cloisite (TCL) as new
heterofunctional support. Lipase from Candida rugosa was covalently immobilized on the …

Biodiesel is a renewable energy source. However, high production cost, low product
efficiency, and long reaction time have been the main technical challenges in biodiesel …

Biodiesel is a fuel safe, renewable, non-toxic, biodegradable and much less contaminant for
the environment than conventional diesel. Moreover, it represents a strategic source of …

In this study, the potential of LaPO 4 foam as a heterogeneous catalyst to produce biodiesel
from highly acidic waste cooking oil (WCO) was investigated. The LaPO 4 supported nickel …

Simulations of the methanolysis of lipids in a mixer-packed bed heterogeneous flow process
were performed based on the thermodynamics (equilibrium) as well as mechanism and …

Intensification of biofuel production processes could play a critical role in boosting the
economic and environmental features of the whole process. A novel bionic flow-induced …
