One-step production and physicochemical characterization of biodiesel using rubber seed oil blends

Abstract The seeds of Hevea brasiliensis (HB) stand out as a promising feedstock for biodiesel production owing to their high oil content. However, its elevated acid value poses a challenge, requiring pre-treatment steps before transesterification. Given this scenario, the presen...

Development of an Electrochemical Reactor Prototype for Biodiesel Production Powered by Photovoltaic Energy

Abstract The continuous increase in global energy demand has intensified the search for renewable alternatives capable of replacing fossil fuels. In this study, an electrochemical reactor prototype powered by photovoltaic energy was developed for biodiesel production from sunflow...
