Production of Sunflower Biodiesel as an Alternative Fuel for
A biodiesel from sunflower oil was prepared by transesterification in methanol, employing a novel heterogeneous catalyst that was synthesized through the impregnation of K 2 CO 3 onto Talc support in wet conditions. 40% by weight of K 2 CO 3 species fabricated upon the Talc support showcased the best catalytic activity due to its higher
1. Introduction. Biodiesel is recognized as the most promising alternative fuel since they are biodegradable, renewable and non-toxic [1], [2].Biodiesel is produced through transesterification, wherein, a fat (triglyceride of fatty acid) and a small alcohol (methanol or ethanol) are reacted in the presence of a catalyst into a monoester of fatty acid and glycerin [3].
Transesterification of sunflower oil to biodiesel fuel
The FTIR spectra of the utilized sunflower oil and produced biodiesel fuel samples are illustrated in Fig. 11. Table 4 tabulated the characteristic bands of these materials. The main differences of the two spectra appeared at 1194.1 cm −1 , which referred to the O−CH 3 stretching band and 1429.1 cm −1 , which referred to the −CH 3
The aim of this work is the synthesis of fatty acid methyl esters from sunflower oil (SFO). The optimization of the most important factors affecting the yield of the reaction such as time and temperature of the reaction is established. The biodiesel produced is analyzed using Fourier transform infrared and gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy
Preparation of Biodiesel from Sunflower Oil by
The optimum conditions for the methanolysis of sunflower oil were found to be methanol/sunflower oil molar ratio 6:1; reaction temperature, 60 ˚C, and NaOH catalyst concentration, 1.00% (w/w).
The energy demand of the world is skyrocketing due to the exponential economic growth and population expansion. To meet the energy requirement, the use of fossil fuels is not a good decision, causing environmental pollution such as CO2 emissions. Therefore, the use of renewable energy sources like biofuels can meet the energy crisis especially for countries facing oil shortages such as
An Overview of Production, Properties, and Uses of Biodiesel
Re-refining crude sunflower oil improves fuel performance and appears more promising than raw sunflower oil. However, there are problems associated with the long-term use such as carbonization in the engine (Canakci et al. 2009). An alternative to conventional fuels or pure vegetable oils is the use of appropriate blends of vegetable oils
The K 2 O/RGO catalyst demonstrated reusability for up to four cycles. Maximum biodiesel yields of 98.54% for sunflower oil and 96.89% for waste cooking oil were achieved under operating
Widely used catalysts in biodiesel production: a review
This review highlights the latest synthesis routes of various types of catalysts (including acidic, basic, bifunctional and nanocatalysts) derived from different chemicals, as well as biomass. In addition, the impacts of different methods of preparation of catalysts on the yield of biodiesel are also discussed in details. This article is part
Rapeseed, soybean, castor, sunflower, palm, coconut, canola, and maize oil are conventional biodiesel oils. • Sunflower: Sunflower oil, or Helianthus annuus, is a popular vegetable oil. Refining crude sunflower oil reduces FFAs to 0.24% [19]. Sunflowers contain 35 to 45% oil, whereas sunflower seeds contain 50–60% triglyceride oil and 20
