Scaling up extractive deacidification of waste cooking oil
Journal of Environmental Management, 2022Biodiesel produced from waste feedstocks can play a significant role in fighting climate change, improperly disposed waste and growing energy demand. Waste feedstocks such as used cooking oil have a great potential for energy production. However, they often have to be purified from free fatty acids prior to biodiesel production.

Planning waste cooking oil collection systems
Waste Management, 2013This research has been motivated by a real-life problem of a waste cooking oil collection system characterized by the existence of multiple depots with an outsourced vehicle fleet, where the collection routes have to be plan. The routing problem addressed allows open routes between depots, i.e., all routes start at one depot but can end at the same or ...

Agricultural waste derived fuel from oil meal and waste cooking oil
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2017Oil meal is a by-product of the oil industry (peanut meal, sesame meal, and camellia meal). Oil is extracted from seeds, and the leftover meal is then pelletized, and this process generates a large amount of waste oil meal in Taiwan. In this study, peanut meal, sesame meal, and camellia meal derived fuels were prepared from the waste oil meal with ...

Biodiesel production from waste cooking oils
Fuel, 2008Abstract Alkali-catalyzed transesterification of waste cooking oils, collected within Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, with methanol was carried out in a laboratory scale reactor. The effects of methanol/waste cooking oils ratio, potassium hydroxide concentration and temperature on the biodiesel conversion were investigated.

Biodiesel from Plant Oil and Waste Cooking Oil
2019Vegetable oil derived from oilseed plantations or crops is the most commonly used feedstock for the production of biodiesel. These oils, primarily including those obtained from rapeseed, sunflower, and palm, are transesterified with methanol in the presence of an alkaline catalyst to reduce their viscosity so that their fuel properties are comparable ...

Production of Bio‐Oil from Waste Cooking Oil by Pyrolysis
Chemical Engineering & Technology, 2021AbstractWaste cooking oil (WCO) is an important feedstock for biofuel production due to its low cost and extensive availability, primarily by transesterification. A more recent approach to take advantage of this feedstock is through pyrolysis. In this study, WCO was collected from a fast food restaurant and then pyrolyzed, employing two different ...
