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 ...
Performance and Emission Quality Assessment in a Diesel Engine of Straight Castor and Sunflower Vegetable Oils, in Diesel/Gasoline/Oil Triple Blends
(MDPI, 2019)
This research evaluates the possibility of using straight oils such as castor oil, which is not suitable for food use, and sunflower oil, used as a standard reference for waste cooking oils, in blends with gasoline as ...
Outlook for Direct Use of Sunflower and Castor Oils as Biofuels in Compression Ignition Diesel Engines, Being Part of Diesel/Ethyl Acetate/Straight Vegetable Oil Triple Blends
(MDPI, 2020)
Today, biofuels are indispensable in the implementation of fossil fuels replacement processes. This study evaluates ethyl acetate (EA) as a solvent of two straight vegetable oils (SVOs), castor oil (CO), and sunflower oil ...
Acetone Prospect as an Additive to Allow the Use of Castor and Sunflower Oils as Drop-In Biofuels in Diesel/Acetone/Vegetable Oil Triple Blends for Application in Diesel Engines
(MDPI, 2020)
The present paper investigates the feasibility of using acetone (ACE) in triple blends with fossil diesel (D) and straight vegetable oils (SVOs) as alternative fuel for diesel engines. In this respect, ACE is selected as ...
Optimization by response surface methodology of the reaction conditions in 1,3-selective transesterification of sunflower oil, by using CaO as heterogeneous catalyst
(Elsevier, 2020)
In this work, the experimental conditions for the transesterification reaction of sunflower oil, over commercial calcium oxide (CaO) as heterogeneous catalysts, have been optimized employing a multi-factorial design based ...
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 ...
Biofuel that Keeps Glycerol as Monoglyceride by 1,3-Selective Ethanolysis with Pig Pancreatic Lipase Covalently Immobilized on AlPO4 Support
(MDPI, 2013)
By using pig pancreatic lipase (EC 3.1.1.3 or PPL) as a biocatalyst, covalently
immobilized on amorphous AlPO4 support, a new second generation biodiesel was
obtained in the transesterification reaction of sunflower oil ...
Application of CALB lipase inmobilized on inorganic supports for biofuel production
(Universidad de Córdoba, 2017)
