Biodiesel Production Techniques: A Review
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Increasing energy demand and environmental concerns have encouraged an evolution of alternative fuels. In this paper, a comparative review of the current technologies up to now used to produce biodiesel has been investigated. There are four most important ways to make biodiesel, transesterification, thermal cracking, direct use or blending and micro emulsions. The most common methods in the production of biodiesel, was emphasized in this review. The two important types of biodiesel production process; transesterification and thermal cracking are discussed at length in the paper. Both the advantages and disadvantages of the transesterification and thermal cracking methods are also discussed.
