This work presents the results of a supercritical transesterification process of soybean oil using methanol, performed in a laboratory high pressure semi-batch reactor. A full description of the ...

Abstract: High consumption of chicken in Indonesia leads to a considerable amount of chicken skin as a waste. The utilization of this chicken skins as possible biodiesel feedstock was therefore ...

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer used in constructing synthetic materials and as a suspension polymerization agent. Due to its biocompatibility, it is also used as a base ...

ABSTRACT: In this study, a homogeneous alkaline catalyst was used in the production of biodiesel from raw and refined castor oil feedstock. The effect of potassium hydroxide (KOH) as a catalyst ...

Biodiesel is synthesized by the transesterification of triglycerides of oils with short-chain alcohols, such as methanol and ethanol. According to the Renewable Energy Directive guidelines (RED II ...

Abstract: In recent years, natural esters (NEs) have become pivotal components in the transformer industry, serving as effective insulating fluids. NE’s growing market potential is attributed to its K ...
