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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
