The transesterification reaction used in biodiesel production is reversible; thus, several approaches are required to achieve a high product yield. The use of excess methanol as a reactant is one method to shift the reac...

The transesterification reaction of soybean oil with methanol is studied with different gAl2O3 heterogeneous catalysts. The catalysts used are K-gAl2O3, Na-gAl2O3, Li-gAl2O3, Ca-gAl2O3 and Ba-gAl2O3 both 5% and 10% in me...

The depletion of non-renewable fossil energy reserves is the main reason for this research to develop renewable energy as a substitute for diesel fuel. One of the alternatives studied is the production of biodiesel from ...

The knowledge and the ability to describe the phase equilibrium behavior of systems composed of transesterification products are very important in the optimization of biodiesel production and purification process. In thi...

Green laser irradiation successfully activated self-healing processes in epoxy-acid networks modified with low amounts of gold nanoparticles (NPs). A bio-based polymer matrix, obtained by crosslinking epoxidized soybean ...

Biodiesel can be obtained from the transesterification reaction of triglycerides with short-chain alcohols in the presence of a catalyst. Some of the methyl esters present in biodiesel are unsaturated, which favors the o...

The asphalt industry faces growing challenges from stringent greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction mandates and diminishing high-quality virgin material reserves. This review paper positions upcycling as the engineered transfor...
