The traditional method of biodiesel synthesis is costly on industrial scale. Hence,
heterogeneous catalysis is crucial in minimizing end-product costs thanks to high durability …

Biodiesel has attracted significant attention as a potential renewable and environmentally
friendly substitute for petroleum-derived diesel fuel. Conventionally, commercial biodiesel is …

A novel magnetic SO 4/Fe-Al-TiO 2 solid acid catalyst was synthesized for biodiesel
production via the (trans) esterification of waste cooking oil (WCO). The nanocomposite …

In the last few years, biodiesel has emerged as one of the most potential renewable energy
to replace current petrol-derived diesel. It is a renewable, biodegradable and non-toxic fuel …

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 …

Because of biodegradability and nontoxicity biodiesel has become more attractive as
alternative fuel. Biodiesel is produced mainly from vegetable oils by transesterification of …

Homogeneous acid catalysts received wide acceptability because of their fast reaction rates.
However, postproduction costs incurred from aqueous quenching, wastewater and loss of …

CO2 emissions from industrial processes and their adverse implications on the climate is of
major concern. Carbon capture and storage (CCS), especially using chemical-absorption …

Palm oil industry is one of the leading agricultural industries in Malaysia with average crude
palm oil production of more than 13million tonne per year. However, production of such …

The reduction of oil resources and the consequent increasing price of oil distillates as well
