Biodiesel production, properties, and feedstocks (2009, background): “6 are the following: Park et al. (2008a), Rashid and Anwar (2008a), Yuan et al. (2008), Wang et al. (2008), Cetinkaya and Karaosmanoglu (2004), Antolin et al. 2002.”
Production of biodiesel from Jatropha oil catalyzed by nanosized solid basic catalyst (2011, background): “The AV of fresh Jatropha oil in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan province, is from 5 to 12 mg KOH/g. Owing to its high FFAs, the transesterification of Jatropha oil to biodiesel catalyzed directly by solid catalyst had a low conversion rate.”
Transesterification of Jatropha oil using immobilized Pseudomonas fluorescens (2007, background): “of CO2, a “greenhouse” gas; (ii) it can be domestically produced, offering the possibility of reducing petroleum imports; (iii) it is biodegradable; (iv) relative to conventional diesel fuel, its combustion products have reduced levels of particulates, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, hydrocarbons, s”
Preparation of high surface area activated carbon from waste-biomass of sunflower piths: Kinetics and equilibrium studies on the dye removal (2018, background): “Dominant industrial usage of sunflower is in oil production (from the seeds), food industry and more recently as a renewable energy source through biodiesel production [16].”
