Algae-derived lipids are promising renewable feedstocks for biodiesel production. However, efficient conversion requires optimization of transesterification conditions to maximize biodiesel yield. This study aimed to optimize biodiesel production from Ulva lactuca lipids using potassium hydroxide-catalyzed transesterif...
The transition toward a sustainable bioeconomy requires efficient strategies for converting renewable biomass and industrial side streams into value-added chemicals and fuels. Fusel oil is an important coproduct of bioethanol fermentation and levulinic acid (LA), a key platform molecule derived from lignocellulosic bio...
Biodiesel production from used cooking oil (WCO) is a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, but its high free fatty acid (FFA) content (>5 wt %) makes direct basic transesterification difficult. This study presents an integrated two-stage strategy that optimizes the acid esterification of oleic acid (the dominant...
Responding to the growing demand for sustainable industrial chemicals, research is advancing towards the sustainable supply of novel feedstocks for surfactant production. This study evaluated the ethoxylation and optimisation of Palm Kernel Oil (PKO) and Jatropha oil as bio-based feedstocks for bio-innocent surfactants...
ABSTRACT Ethiopia has faced significant energy challenges arising from its overreliance on fossil fuels and traditional biomass, which deplete natural resources and hinder sustainable socio-economic development. Biodiesel production from locally available aquatic plant species would offer a feasible and sustainable ene...
