To date, research emphasizing biodiesel production via two-step transesterification from WCO, with the pre-treatment of WCO using combined activated carbon adsorption and acid esterification, is limited. Therefore, it is the aim of this study to (1) reduce the free fatty acid of WCO through a combination of pre-treatment using activated carbon and esterification of acid catalysis simultaneously, (2) maximize the production of biodiesel via a two-step transesterification process, and (3) compare the converted biodiesel against the biodiesel standards. The amount of activated carbon and the reaction time for each step of the transesterification process are varied. The combination pre-treatment method has successfully reduced the FFA content in WCO from 9.297% to below 3%. The produced biodiesel is verified as fully converted biodiesel via solubility testing in ethanol. The optimum conditions for biodiesel production are pre-treatment using 5 g of powdered activated carbon and a reaction time for each transesterification step of 30 min. The biodiesel generated under these conditions meets the biodiesel standards. It has the highest content of saturated fatty acid, with the maximum biodiesel yield of 52.78%.","PeriodicalId":56057,"journal":{"name":"Biofuels-Uk","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41472679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

New methods, such as non-thermal plasma technology, reduce the reaction time and temperature. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the use of a combined plasma jet–hydrodynamic reactor for transesterification. The plasma jet used in this research comprised a ceramic tube with a central high-voltage electrode and a ring outer electrode, into which argon gas was fed. The hydrodynamic reactor consisted of a rotor with holes in its environment that rotated in a fixed stator. In this study, the operating parameters for plasma jet evaluation include the molar ratio of methanol to oil (4:1, 6:1, 8:1), catalyst concentration (0.75, 1, 1.25 wt.%), and reaction time (30, 60, and 90 s). The operating parameters for evaluating the hydrodynamic reactor included reaction time (30, 60, and 90 s), reaction temperature (40, 50, and 60 °C), and rotor–stator distance (10, 20, and 30 mm). The response surface method (RSM) and Box–Behnken design were used to analyze and optimize the results. According to the results, using a plasma jet alone produces a conversion percentage of 83%. Finally, the product’s physical and chemical characteristics were evaluated, and it was found to be insufficiently compliant with international standards.","PeriodicalId":56057,"journal":{"name":"Biofuels-Uk","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46071477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Performance and emission tests were carried out at various engine loads at a constant speed of 1500 rpm using commercial gasoline and five different fuel blends. Thermodynamic analyses were carried out on the test data. The augmentation in engine load caused an increase in exergy losses and a decrease in the unit cost of engine power exergy values. Specifically for gasoline fuel, the unit cost of engine power exergy at 25% engine load is 1.99 times higher than at 100% load. In fuel blends, the pump price of each fuel affects the fuel cost rate. Exergy efficiency in fuel blends increases with increasing engine load. The highest exergy efficiency is 19.58% for gasoline fuel at 100% engine load. It is 15.95% for M15 fuel at the same load.

In view of the environmental and economic problems of the conventional purification process of this biofuel, there is a need to explore alternative methods of purification. In this way, this manuscript evaluated the use of passion fruit seed meal as an alternative for biodiesel purification. In the adsorption tests, with a concentration of the biosorbent equal to 40 g L−1, at 45 °C, for 90 min, there was a removal of 72.2% of free glycerol and reduction in the content of glycerol to values below the maximum limit imposed by the legislation. Furthermore, through the characterization of the meal and the adsorption equilibrium data, it was possible to propose the mechanism involved in the adsorption process corresponds to hydrogen interactions between the glycerol and the oxygenated groups of the biosorbent. In the membrane separation process, the free glycerol removals obtained with the meal functionalized membrane were three times higher than those with the commercial membrane. Thus, the passion fruit seed meal can be a promising alternative for biodiesel purification, bringing economic and environmental advantages due to the reduction in the generation of effluents.

The present work involved subjecting the inedible date seed oil-producing feedstock to the process of generating biodiesel. CaO nanoparticles of waste eggshell derivation resulting from calcination at various temperatures provided mediation for the process of transesterification. The maximum of 85% yield of biodiesel was attained based on a 1:12 oil–ethanol ratio, 4 wt.% catalyst loading and 75 °C temperature. The catalyst evaluation showed that the CaO nanoparticles were pure and of nanoscale.
