Biodiesel produced through catalytic transesterification of triglycerides from edible and non-
edible oils and alcohol is considered an alternative to traditional petro-diesel. The interest in …

In Europe, rapeseed is a renewable raw material which has been widely used for the
production of biodiesel by various processes. The transesterification reaction of rapeseed oil …

Nowadays, due to detrimental carbon dioxide emissions and dwindling non‐renewable
fossil energy from crude oil, biodiesel from green sources such as vegetable oils, animal …

The critical problem arising from the depletion of fossil fuels has stimulated recent interests
in alternative sources for petroleum-based fuel. An alternative fuel should be technically …

A continuous pack-bed reactor experimental system was employed to investigate the
heterogeneous catalytic esterification of oleic acid and sub/supercritical methanol with γ-Al 2 …

This study aimed to investigate the effects of temperature, ethyl acetate to palm oil molar
ratio, residence time, and packing alumina balls on triglyceride conversion, ethyl ester, and …

In this study, syntheses of bifunctional catalyst (CaO-MgO/SiO2) with different ratios of CaO:
MgO: SiO2 of 1: 1: 3 and 1: 1: 5 were carried out by sol-gel method. The catalysts were …

A simple technique offering high biodiesel yield and quality was proposed. Palm oil and
ethanol were used as raw materials, while ethyl acetate was used as a reactive cosolvent to …

Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) that are used as biodiesel can be synthesized in
supercritical methylating agents such as supercritical methanol. While the synthesis can be …

Supercritical transesterification experiments of beef tallow with ethanol were carried out in a
batch reactor in order to assess the effect of temperature (350-400 C), reactant molar ratio …
