Biodiesel is considered eco-friendly, biodegradable, non-toxic, and carbon-neutral fuel. It made from edible or non-edible oil feedstocks including other triglyceride sources. The production of biodiesel depends on the availability a particular feedstock cost desired raw materials. mainly produced by transesterification process using suitable catalyst preferably heterogeneous as it more beneficial in terms reusability, recovery, product purity, well. Various reactors are developed to produce...
It is no longer unfamiliar to the world that usage of fossil-derived fuel accompanied by several downsides, including environmental fatality associated with toxic gas emissions from diesel engines and recurring surging price fuel. The concern regarding exploitation natural resources subsequent threats has caught attention all nations. Therefore, scientists have stepped forward come up most suitable alternative conventional They utilized abundance oil feedstocks performed transesterification...
Graphene oxide (GO), a 2-dimensional (2-D) monolayer of graphite, has drawn lot importance due to its accessibility and material compatibility. It can be produced by mechanically stirring or sonicating graphite exfoliate it into layered sheets. Due high stability, 2-D planar structure, huge surface area, easy chemical adaptation via functionalities, efficient loading with many biomolecules, optical, electrical, mechanical capabilities, GO derivatives are quickly emerging as the most...
The study focuses on the preparation of an inexpensive, ecocompatible, and effective catalyst from Bharatmoni (Musa AAA) plant for biodiesel synthesis using Jatropha curcas oil. burnt ashes obtained fruit peel, stem, rhizome were calcined at 550°C 2 h characterized by analytical techniques. Utilization CBS-550 achieved a higher yield (96.97%) within 12 min compared to CBP-550 (96.89% in 16 min) CBR-550 (96.53% 18 catalysts under optimum reaction parameters 5 wt% 9 : 1 MTOMR 65°C. This...
Biodiesel is generally obtained by transesterification and esterification of appropriate feedstocks facilitated a catalyst. It has emerged to be one the most potential alternatives for conventional fuels gaining worldwide attention. Heterogeneous catalysts are usually preferred than homogeneous biodiesel synthesis due facile separation insignificant soap formation. However, still possesses difficulty leading mass transfer hindrance. Therefore, these can further modified using magnetic...
A cost-effective catalyst is essential to reduce the expenses of producing biodiesel. This study aimed at utilizing waste black gram ( Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper) plant as an efficient for biodiesel from a blend different edible and inedible oils. The was developed by igniting dried material then subjecting it calcination 550°C 2 h. feedstock prepared mixing oils in equivalent ratio reaction. Various sophisticated techniques such XRD, FT-IR, XPS, BET, FESEM-EDX, HRTEM, SAED were employed...
