Biodiesel is a renewable transportation fuel consisting of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME),
generally produced by transesterification of vegetable oils and animal fats. In this review, the …

In recent decades, the concern over depletion of the world׳ s petroleum reserves and
environmental pollution has increased the demand to develop a renewable and …

Energy, having primary importance in ensuring the prosperity and development of countries,
has recently become one of the most strategic parameters in the international arena …

The aim of this work was the study of the influence of the raw material composition on
biodiesel quality, using a transesterification reaction. Thus, ten refined vegetable oils were …

Depleting fossil fuel sources accompanied by continuously growing energy demands lead to
increased interest in alternative energy sources. Blended biodiesel–diesel fuel has been …

BACKGROUND: The novelty of this work is the estimation of the fuel properties of biodiesel,
a comparison study with conventional sources of biodiesel commonly used as feedstock …

Alarming situation of world energy stimulated the researchers to look for new sources of fuel,
which must be renewable, locally available and environmentally benign. In this regard, the …

The fuel properties of microalgal biodiesel are predicted using published microalgal fatty
acid (FA) compositions and predictive fuel models. Biodiesels produced from the microalgae …

The scarcity of fossil fuels in medium and long term has led to several researchers to
propose different alternatives to replace them, where the biodiesel had been proposed as …

Calcium oxide as a heterogeneous catalyst was investigated for its effect on the biodiesel
synthesis from refined sunflower oil. Experiments were carried out using a commercial …
