Saponification in Biodiesel Production
Introduction to Saponification Saponification is a chemical reaction that involves the production of a metal salt or soap. The reaction involves the attack on a methyl ester, free fatty acid, triglyceride, or other glyceride by a hydroxide ion, –OH. (More fat information please click) The hydroxide ion implies the presence of water in the system. If … Read More
Analysis of Sustainable Biodiesel Production from Waste Cooking Oil
The Bioenergy and Human Health Link This research aims to correlate bioenergy and human health, through the study of frying process of frozen pre-fried potatoes in sunflower oil, which will be subsequently used as a raw material for biodiesel production. The depletion of fossil fuel reserves, especially oil, and the environmental impact of emissions from … Read More
Transportation and Storage of Biodiesel
Introduction Biodiesel that leaves the production plant in good condition can become unacceptable during distribution without proper care and attention. Biodiesel can degrade due to oxidation, contact with water, and/or microbial activity. In general, biodiesel will degrade more quickly than petro-diesel. In one sense, this is a good thing: a biodiesel spill will biodegrade quickly … Read More

Biodiesel is a kind of high-quality clean diesel that can be extracted from various biomasses. Therefore, it can be said that it is an inexhaustible source of energy. In today’s … Read More
Introduction of Biofuel/Biodiesel
The use of waste cooking oil (WCO) from extended household and restaurants was considered as a suitable feedstock for biodiesel production in this paper. The paper also focuses to showcase the qualities of biodiesel produced from WCO compared to that of other virgin oil. The oil that was supposed to be disposed, at times indiscriminately … Read More
New Uses for Crude Glycerin from Biodiesel Production
Introduction Glycerol (also known as glycerin) is a major byproduct in the biodiesel manufacturing process. In general, for every 100 pounds of biodiesel produced, approximately 10 pounds of crude glycerol are created. As the biodiesel industry is rapidly expanding, a glut of crude glycerol is being created. Because this glycerol is expensive to purify for … Read More
