Bio-Derived Catalysts: A Current Trend of Catalysts Used in Biodiesel Production
نویسندگان
چکیده
Biodiesel is a promising alternative to fossil fuels and mainly produced from oils/fat through the (trans)esterification process. To enhance reaction efficiency simplify production process, various catalysts have been introduced for biodiesel synthesis. Recently, use of bio-derived has attracted more interest due their high catalytic activity ecofriendly properties. These include alkali catalysts, acid enzymes (biocatalysts), which are (bio)synthesized natural sources. This review summarizes latest findings on these as well source activity. The advantages disadvantages also discussed. bio-based show future can be further used renewable catalyst sustainable production.

Biodiesel Production with Solid Catalysts
Biodiesel is usually produced by transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fats with chemical catalysts, especially in the presence of strong acidic or basic solutions, such as hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, sodium hydroxide, sodium methoxide and potassium hydroxide. Homogeneous alkali catalysts can convert triglycerides to their corresponding fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) with hig...
متن کاملBiodiesel production using solid metal oxide catalysts
Biodiesel production is worthy of continued study and optimization of production procedures due to its environmentally beneficial attributes and its renewable nature. Heterogeneous transesterification is considered to be a green process. The process requires neither catalyst recovery nor aqueous treatment steps and very high yields of methyl esters can be obtained, close to the theoretical valu...
متن کاملProcess Optimization of Biodiesel Production Using Alkaline Catalysts
The most commonly used method for biodiesel preparation is via transesterification of vegetable oil using alkaline catalysts. Biodiesel yield and oil conversion are affected by operating conditions including the catalyst formulation and concentration. Application of alkaline catalysts can also lead to undesired soap formation. This study evaluated the alkaline catalyst effects on biodiesel yiel...

In this study, catalysts for fatty acid methyl esters (FAME or biodiesel) synthesis with K2CO3 as the active component on an alumina/silica support were synthesized using the sol–gel method, which was followed by drying the “dense” wet gels with supercritical carbon dioxide to obtain the aerogels. The prepared catalysts were characterized by XRD analysis, FTIR spectroscopy and N2 physisorption ...
