A review on the waste biomass derived catalysts for biodiesel production

Muhammad Hamza et al.

Summary: Biodiesel is produced through the transesterification process of various oils and fats, with the choice of homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts. Heterogeneous catalysts have advantages such as simple manufacturing, ease of separation, and high reusability, making them significant in biodiesel production.

Effect of nanoparticles on the droplet combustion of rice bran oil biodiesel

M. Muthukumar et al.

Summary: The study focused on combustion of rice bran oil (RBO) methyl ester blends with diesel, using nanoparticles of magnelium. Results indicated that the B20 blend with 25 ppm nanoparticles has potential as fuel, and could be more economical with an injection droplet diameter of 0.77 mm. Additionally, other blends like B20 with 75 ppm show promise as fuel options.

Phenol-rich bio-oil derivation via microwave-induced fast pyrolysis of oil palm empty fruit bunch with activated carbon

Rubia Idris et al.

Summary: In this study, oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) was subjected to microwave-induced fast pyrolysis, and it was found that the addition of activated carbon as a microwave susceptor significantly increased the bio-oil yield, resulting in bio-oil enriched with phenolic compounds. This promising method shows potential for producing highly selective mono-phenol rich bio-oil from biowaste.
