Application of Enzymatic Extracts from a CALB Standard Strain as Biocatalyst within the Context of Conventional Biodiesel Production Optimization
(MDPI, 2017)
The application of biocatalysts in the transesterification process of triglycerides (TG) allows
integrating the glycerol in the form of monoglyceride (MG), sharply increasing the yield and the
environmental sustainability ...
Synthesis, Performance and Emission Quality Assessment of Ecodiesel from Castor Oil in Diesel/Biofuel/Alcohol Triple Blends in a Diesel Engine
(MDPI, 2019)
This research aims to promote the use of second-generation biofuels based mainly on Castor oil, which is not adequate for food use, and Sunflower oil as a standard reference for recycled oils. They have been applied in the ...
Biodiesel at the Crossroads: A Critical Review
(MDPI, 2019)
The delay in the energy transition, focused in the replacement of fossil diesel with biodiesel, is mainly caused by the need of reducing the costs associated to the transesterification reaction of vegetable oils with ...
Enzymatic Production of Ecodiesel by Using a Commercial Lipase CALB, Immobilized by Physical Adsorption on Mesoporous Organosilica Materials
(MDPI, 2021)
The synthesis of two biocatalysts based on a commercial Candida antarctica lipase B, CALB enzyme (E), physically immobilized on two silica supports, was carried out. The first support was a periodic mesoporous organosilica ...
Biodiesel Is Dead: Long Life to Advanced Biofuels—A Comprehensive Critical Review
(MDPI, 2022)
Many countries are immersed in several strategies to reduce the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of internal combustion engines. One option is the substitution of these engines by electric and/or hydrogen engines. However, ...
A Biofuel Similar to Biodiesel Obtained by Using a Lipase from Rhizopus oryzae, Optimized by Response Surface Methodology
(MDPI, 2014)
A new biodiesel-like biofuel is obtained by the enzymatic ethanolysis reaction
of sunflower oil with ethanol, in free solvent media, by using BIOLIPASE-R, a
multipurpose alimentary additive from Biocon®-Spain that is a ...
Biocatalytic Behaviour of Immobilized Rhizopus oryzae Lipase in the 1,3-Selective Ethanolysis of Sunflower Oil to Obtain a Biofuel Similar to Biodiesel
(MDPI, 2014)
A new biofuel similar to biodiesel was obtained in the 1,3-selective
transesterification reaction of sunflower oil with ethanol using as biocatalyst a Rhizopus
oryzae lipase (ROL) immobilized on Sepiolite, an inorganic ...
Rhizomucor miehei Lipase Supported on Inorganic Solids, as Biocatalyst for the Synthesis of Biofuels: Improving the Experimental Conditions by Response Surface Methodology
(MDPI, 2019)
Two inorganic solids have been evaluated as supports of Lipozyme RM IM, a Rhizomucor miehei lipase immobilized on a macroporous anion exchange resin, in order to improve its application as a biocatalyst in the synthesis ...
Evaluation of Lipases fromWild Microbial Strains as Biocatalysts in Biodiesel Production
(MDPI, 2018)
In this study, the evaluation of the catalytic behavior of several wild bacterial strains in the 1,3-selective ethanolysis of triglycerides with ethanol to produce a new type of biodiesel (Ecodiesel) that integrates glycerol ...
