The Transesterification of Hickory Nuts into Biodiesel Fuel [PDF]

, 2019
• Biodiesel fuels can be produced from a fat and an alcohol via transesterification • Hickory nuts have a high fat content (~60 % by weight) • Can nuts from shagbark hickory (Carya ovata) be used to produce a biodiesel fuel using existing acidcatalyzed ...

Selective Oxidation Strategies for Cost‐Efficient Green Hydrogen Production via Hybrid Water Electrolysis

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Hybrid water electrolysis has emerged as a promising alternative to conventional electrolysis for sustainable hydrogen production. The economic potential of replacing water oxidation with organic substrates is assessed. For each substrate, representative electrocatalysts and mechanistic insights are reviewed to identify design principles for optimized ...

ZnO/ionic liquid catalyzed biodiesel production from renewable and waste lipids as feedstocks [PDF]

, 2019
A new protocol for biodiesel production is proposed, based on a binary ZnO/TBAI (TBAI = tetrabutylammonium iodide) catalytic system. Zinc oxide acts as a heterogeneous, bifunctional Lewis acid/base catalyst, while TBAI plays the role of phase transfer ...

Box–Behnken optimization and ANN‐ANFIS integrated modelling for transesterification using thermally activated basic oxygen furnace slag catalyst

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Global energy demand and environmental concerns have intensified the search for renewable and sustainable energy sources. This study thus, focuses on optimizing the transesterification process of waste cooking oil (WCO) using thermally activated basic oxygen furnace slag catalyst calcined at 850°C (BOF 850). The optimization and modelling were
