This paper reviews the production and characterization of biodiesel (BD or B) as well as the
experimental work carried out by many researchers in this field. BD fuel is a renewable …

The use of vegetable oils as alternative fuels has been around for one hundred years when
the inventor of the diesel engine Rudolph Diesel first tested peanut oil, in his compression …

Vegetable oil fuels have not been acceptable because they were more expensive than
petroleum fuels. With recent increases in petroleum prices and uncertainties concerning …

Methyl and ethyl esters as biodiesel fuels were prepared from linseed oil with
transesterification reaction in non-catalytic supercritical fluids conditions. Biodiesel fuel is a …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the biobased (rapeseed) oil with the
addition of different amounts of metal-containing additive in a steel–bronze tribological …

The exhaustible fossil based fuel and its negative impact on the environment, when used in
diesel engine has stimulated to search for an alternative source of energy. In this regard …

The transesterification reaction of sunflower oil with ethanol to produce fatty acid ethyl esters
(FAEEs) was studied by using calcined calcium zincate as solid base catalyst. The effect of …

The future of fossil fuel sources of energy has necessitated the need to search for renewable
alternatives. Thus, Carica papaya seed oil (CPSO) was employed as feedstock for the …

This paper reviews the technical sustainability of biodiesel and its blends with diesel in CI
engines. Besides exploring historical background of biodiesel production from vegetable …

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel to diesel engine that can replace or reduce the use of
petroleum diesel. Biodiesel is derived from vegetable oils, animal fats, and waste cooking …
