The interest for lipase production is due to the ability of this enzyme to catalyze some reactions, such as the transesterification. Although industrial biodiesel is produced chemically, there are several problems ass...
In the last years, biodiesel production has been on a steady increase due to it is renewable and biodegradable fuel. The process to obtain biodiesel can be carried out using different raw materials. It is conlmonly pe...
The objective of this study was to reduce the environmental impacts of used frying oil waste through the production of biodiesel. A 22 factorial planning has been used to evaluate the influences of alcohol/oil and rea...
Transesterification is the most common production process for biodiesel. From this reaction, a glycerin phase is produced that is impure, thus lowering market value. However, because it is rich in carbon, it is an alt...
Biodiesel is an excellent option for reducing dependence on fossil fuels with environmental advantages by reducing hazardous emissions. The enzymatic transesterification has attracted the attention of researchers in t...
Synthesis biodiesel using biocatalyst is an emerging and attracting alternative process to replace the conventional process. However, biocatalyst is easy to be deactivated by alcohol, which is a reactant in biodiesel ...
One possible application for the excess of glycerol, which is an exceeding byproduct in biodiesel industry, was used as carbon and energy sources for bioproducts synthesis. This work aims to evaluate biosurfactant pro...
The simple spectrophotometric method for the determination of esters has been developed. The procedure is based on the quantitative determination of ferric hydroxamate generated from the reaction of esters, hydroxylam...
Jatropha curcas L. (JCL) seeds were extracted and transesterified in-situ using supercritical methanol extraction in the absence of catalyst at different temperatures (200-280℃) and pressures (8-12 MPa), and at...
