An Overview of Production, Properties, and Uses of Biodiesel from
Biodiesel production involves a number of different types of physical and chemical steps depending on the kind of feedstock. The first step is the extraction of the crude oil from fruits, seeds, or parts of oil containing plants, and usually involves mechanical press extraction and solvent extraction.
The first generation feedstocks various edible oils, can be used for biodiesel production like sunflower oil [7], soyabean oil [8], canola oil [9], cotton oil [10], pumpkin oil [11], peanut oil
Biodiesel production from non-edible plant oils - Ayhan Demirbas
Biodiesel produced from non-edible vegetable oil has good potential as an alternative diesel fuel. The use of non-edible plant oils when compared with edible plant oils is very significant because of the tremendous demand for edible oils as food, and they are far too expensive to be used as fuel at present (Mahanta et al., 2006).
The issue of energy availability and the impact of global warming has become a specific concern for researchers in various countries in the world. This condition opens up space for potential alternative energy sources that are newer and more sustainable. Biodiesel as a sustainable alternative energy can be applied directly to industrial and automotive fields and even as a fuel source for power
Oil Crops: A Potential Source of Biodiesel
1. Introduction. Oil crops such as soybeans, sunflower, canola, rapeseed, and peanuts play a vital role in the agricultural economy, second only to food crops in terms of area and yield. Vegetable oil is known for its high energy density, containing approximately 2.25 times more calories per unit mass than carbohydrates or protein.
It was reported that a B2 mix (2% biodiesel, 98% petroleum diesel) of biodiesel using 12 distinct sources of edible oil might provide 2% of the demand for diesel in Iran. 1 Similarly, Yang et al. 2 reported biodiesel production from 18 different non-edible oils in Australia that can fulfil energy demands and the need for employment in small towns by setting up plants for biodiesel production.
Refining technologies for the purification of crude biodiesel
Also, Cheng et al. [96] have purified crude biodiesel using a membrane separator integrated with liquid–liquid extraction for the oil–FAME–MeOH system. They used porous ceramic disk membranes (47 mm in diameter) with an effective membrane area of 13.1 cm 2 , the pore size of 0.14 μm, and the molecular weights cut off (MWCO) of 300 kDa.
According to the data obtained from the World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates [15] tabulated in Table 5.1, the amounts of coconut, cottonseed, olive, peanut, and rapeseed oils produced from 2014 to 2021 were approximately constant (lower than 10% variations), while palm, palm kernel, soybean, and sunflower oil production increased by 27.3%, 23.6%, 33.3%, and 24.9% within the same
- Can biodiesel extract peanut oil from seeds?
- Peanut oil extraction for biodiesel was researched by Nguyen et al. 31 They used microemulsion to examine vegetable oil and diesel fuel extraction efficiency and reverse water-in-oil emulsion method of diesel fuel to extract peanut oil from seeds. Microemulsion biodiesel was more efficient than diesel under the same conditions.
- What is a feedstock for biodiesel production?
- Feedstock for biodiesel production includes various edible oils, non-edible oils, animal fats, microalgal oils, waste oils, and advanced solar oil. Biodiesel is prepared by breaking down the fats and oils into their corresponding alkyl esters by heating them.
- Which seeds are suitable for biodiesel production in South Africa?
- Sunflower seeds show a decent oil yield per hectare and are currently the main oilseed produced in South Africa which makes it the primary candidate for commercial biodiesel production. Soybeans have a lower oil yield per hectare but are also produced on large enough scale to be considered for biodiesel production.
- Where can a biodiesel plant be located?
- Biodiesel plant can be situated anywhere between biodiesel outlet and vegetable oil suppliers as the volumes to be transported are the same. Vegetable oil feedstock can be locally produced or imported from overseas. Choice of feedstock based on oil content, local production and price.
