Fractionation and Characterization of Insolubles Formed in Palm Oil Biodiesel

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2013
During the last decade, biodiesel has emerged as a promising alternative to diesel. However, the sedimentation of some insoluble material in pure biodiesel has become a concern for its producers. This material easily drops out of solution, settles on the bottom of biodiesel storage tanks and forms deposits on vehicle fuel filters.

Effect Soursop Leaf Extract For Oxidation Stability Of Palm Oil Biodiesel and Soybean Oil Biodiesel

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2021
Abstract Biodiesel is one of the alternative energy sources for diesel oil substitutes. However, the unsaturated fatty acid contains in vegetable oils leads to the poor oxidation stability of biodiesel. One of the potential methods used to prevent or delay the oxidation reaction is the addition of antioxidants because the process is much

Optimization of acid‐catalyzed transesterification of oil derived from mango processing seed waste: a step towards the circular economy

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Energy is the basis for socio‐economic development. The effects of fossil‐based energy sources underscore the urgent need for renewable and cost‐effective alternatives. Biofuels derived from non‐edible and low‐cost feedstocks are a promising alternative.

Implementing a palm oil‐based biodiesel policy: The case of Thailand [PDF]

Energy Science & Engineering, 2018
AbstractRenewable energy promotion is recognized as an important goal in international climate policies in order to reduce CO2‐emissions. Biodiesel can potentially be an important contributor in this respect, especially in Thailand with its large biomass production from oil palm cultivation.

Assessment of the effects of microwave‐produced biodiesel blends on electric generator performance and emissions

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiesels are emerging as alternatives to diesel fuel. However, to be a feasible solution, biodiesels must meet strict criteria including high efficiency and minimal environmental impact. The current study focuses on evaluating ethyl ester biodiesel and its blends with diesel fuel to assess their potential.
