Efficient biodiesel production from waste cooking oil using a bifunctional Ce/Mn/γ-Al₂O₃ catalysts

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: Jan. 2, 2025

As the demand for sustainable energy sources intensifies, biodiesel emerges as a compelling renewable alternative to petroleum-based fuels. Leveraging waste cooking oil (WCO) feedstock not only offers an environmentally friendly fuel source but also addresses disposal issues. However, production from WCO faces challenges, particularly due its high free fatty acid (FFA) content, which can hinder efficient conversion and lead soap formation in traditional alkaline-catalysed processes. This study seeks overcome these challenges by developing optimizing bifunctional Ce/Mn(10:90)/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst via incipient wetness impregnation (IWI) method. The catalyst's dual acidic basic active sites enable simultaneous esterification transesterification, enhancing efficiency high-FFA feedstocks. Various parameters were optimized, including calcination temperatures, loadings, reaction conditions such methanol-to-oil ratio, loading, temperature, time transesterification process. catalyst, calcined at 800 °C, achieved maximum triglyceride (TG) of 97% under optimal conditions. These determined be 10 wt% 1:24 temperature 65 3 h. is attributed basicity (1.543 mmol/g), large surface area (143 m2/g), small particle size (22 nm), collectively enhance catalytic performance. design thus robust solution into biodiesel, maximizing performance sustainability.

Review on utilization of rubber seed oil for biodiesel production: Oil extraction, biodiesel conversion, merits, and challenges

Cleaner Engineering and Technology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 21, P. 100773 - 100773

Published: July 2, 2024

The greater demand for energy has led to a surge in the utilization of fossil fuels, resulting rapid depletion crude oil sources. Regrettably, this trend engendered significant negative environmental impact, primarily due release unwanted carbon emissions into atmosphere. Biodiesel been considered suitable substitute fuels owing its availability from renewable feedstock, less polluting, sustainable and high biodegradability. However, production biodiesel edible oils is very expensive food versus fuel competition feedstock. Therefore, non-edible such as rubber seed have feedstock their wide abundance different parts world. Rubber plantations are widely cultivated latex discarded seeds could be potential source production. Hence, review considers extraction seeds, free fatty acid compositions, physicochemical properties. It investigates explores variations various kinds catalysts that developed were examined; techno-economic analysis was discussed; merits challenges associated with use analyzed.

Abstract Biodiesel is a sustainable fuel alternative that typically produced through transesterification process primarily employs homogeneous catalysts. However, they generate significant amounts of wastewater and are often non-\recyclable. This study aims to investigate the application heterogeneous blast furnace slag geopolymer catalyst for biodiesel production from animal fat. Central composite design was employed optimise process, considering four key variables: methanol-to-oil ratio (20–50 wt.%), reaction time (3–7 h), temperature (30–70 °C) catalyst-to-oil (3–15 wt.%). The characterised using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction.
