Catalysis in biodiesel formation
Author(s): Mandeep and Dr. Saddad Hussain
Abstract: Fossils fuels are main source of energy but these are not renewable so after a time these may disappear so renewable sources of energy were used such as solar energy hydro energy. Energy from biomass. Biodiesel is also used as energy source in transportation because it is manufactured from vegetable and animal oils by transesterification reaction using homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyst and also from acid and base hydrolysis mixture of used cooking oils and methanol. Biodiesel is renewable as well as biodegradable and causes less pollution to our environment. Ultrasonic technology and co-solvent (mainly non-polar) were also used to increase the mass transfer between two phases of immiscible liquid of methanol and oil.
