How a catalyst is used to produce biodiesel from sunflower oil?
Thereafter, the catalyst is employed to produce biodiesel from sunflower oil via transesterification process in which the effect of various operating parameters, i.e. reaction time, methanol to oil ratio and catalyst load on the biodiesel yield was determined.
Is sunflower oil a good raw material for biodiesel production?
From a chemical reaction perspective, sunflower oil from natural sources is the leading primary raw material beneficial to biodiesel production, as the pure triglycerides conversion to fatty acid methyl ester is not only high but also with relatively short reaction time advantage [ 5 ].
Which industrial technologies are used for vegetable oils’ refining?
The present review aimed at comparing the two main industrial technologies used for vegetable oils¡¯ refining, namely, chemical refining and physical refining. Chemical refining removes free fatty acids by soda neutralization.
Can sunflower oil be used as a biofuel?
In general, as edible oils, vegetable-based oils were regarded as not quite feasible for biofuel production; however, with the global huge volume production of sunflower oil could fairly offset such notion. The continuous replenish of sunflower planation could also possibly contribute to energy sustainability potential.
