Synthesis of trimethylolpropane trioleate by using stannous oxalate catalyst

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This study was conducted to synthesize trimethylolpropane trioleate (TMPTO) using a stannous oxalate catalyst and investigate the dependence of the esterification rate on reaction variables. The highest esterification rate of approximately 99% was achieved at a 2.75:1 oleic acid/trimethylolpropane, 1.5% catalyst amount, 180°C reaction ...

Enzymatic synthesis of acylglycerides from agroindustrial residues: process design and simplified techno‐economic assessment

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This study developed an enzymatic process to add value to palm oil fatty acid distillate (PFAD) and glycerol, resulting in the production of monoacylglycerides (MAG) and diacylglycerides (DAG). The biocatalyst loading (Novozym 435) and molar ratio of reagents were evaluated to obtain a suitable reaction condition in terms of space–time yield ...

Life cycle assessment of biodiesel synthesis from waste cooking oil using bifunctional heterogeneous catalyst

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The development of renewable energy sources is important in order to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Waste cooking oil (WCO) is a promising feedstock for biodiesel production through transesterification. Heterogeneous bifunctional catalysts offer a sustainable alternative to conventional homogeneous bases such ...

Biodiesel production from olive-pomace oil of steam-treated alperujo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Recently interest has been revived in the use of plant-derived waste oils as renewable replacements for fossil diesel fuel. Olive–pomace oil (OPO) extracted from alperujo (by-product of processed olives for olive oil extraction), and produced it in ...
