Valorization of Waste Cooking Oil
2019 Advances in Science and Engineering Technology International Conferences (ASET), 2019This work presents the work of a group of sophomore project students - a step towards the waste valorization and sustainability. The work explores the opportunities for creating value-added products from waste cooking oil (WCO) one of the waste streams abundant in food supply chains.With a focus on the WCO generation from commercial and residential ...

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 ...

Conversion of waste cooking oil into biogas: perspectives and limits
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2020Each year, large quantities of waste cooking oils are produced worldwide which are currently reused mainly for biodiesel production. Since lipids have a very high potential for biomethanation, the production of biogas is a possible alternative for the recycling of edible used oils. The digestion of fats is hindered mainly by their hydrophobicity, which

Biodiesel from waste cooking oil in Mexico City
Waste Management & Research: The Journal for a Sustainable Circular Economy, 2015The aim of this article is to evaluate the potential use of biodiesel produced from waste cooking oil in Mexico City. The study is divided in two main areas: the analysis of a waste cooking oil collection pilot project conducted in food markets of a Mexico City region; and the exhaust emissions performance of biodiesel blends measured in buses of the ...

Use of rice husk in waste cooking oil pretreatment
Environmental Technology, 2017Since industrial wastes are increasing, the development of studies to find ways for their use is urgent. Waste cooking oil is an important source for the production of biodiesel, one of the main biofuels in Brazil. However, during cooking, the oil undergoes conditions that change its properties and decrease its quality, such as its acidity value ...

Biolubricants and the Potential of Waste Cooking Oil
2015In the current decade, development of recycle, renewable, and sustainable products to replace fossil products is an essential and important matter from industrial, environment, and academic point of views. The excessive usage of Petroleum-based oils significantly contributes to the pollution of the environment and had caused environmental pollution and

Utilization of waste cooking oil as an alternative fuel for Turkey
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2016This study is based on three essential considerations concerning biodiesel obtained from waste cooking oil: diesel engine emissions of biodiesel produced from waste cooking oil, its potential in Turkey, and policies of the Turkish government about environmentally friendly alternative fuels. Emission tests have been realized with 35.8 kW, four-cylinder,

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 ...

Enzymatic Conversion of Waste Cooking Oils Into Alternative Fuel—Biodiesel
Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2006Production of biodiesel from pure oils through chemical conversion may not be applicable to waste oils/fats. Therefore, enzymatic conversion using immobilized lipase based on Rhizopus orzyae is considered in this article. This article studies this technological process, focusing on optimization of several process parameters, including the molar ratio ...
