This book provides a sophisticated and descriptive introduction to biodiesel. It deals with matters related to the quality of biodiesel, efficiency of combustion engines and the products that they discharge. Novel ways to define biodiesel properties are mentioned and how feedstocks, contaminants and production procedures can affect the quality of biodiesel have also been assessed. The performance of combustion engines has been assessed when fuelled with biodiesel with respect to the use of biofuel. Glycerol is one of the major byproducts of biodiesel. Its applications as raw material for...

This book highlights the latest developments and growing trends in the field of biodiesel production. The beginning few chapters, deal with feedstocks required for the production of biodiesel. It also encompasses issues related to the use of inexpensive inedible raw materials and production of biomass feedstock with properties that may help it to produce biodiesel. Waste vegetable oils, animal fats, algae etc. are some sources of oil to produce biodiesels. This book would be a rich source of information to the scientists, students and professionals who are engaged in biodiesel production.

This book highlights the latest developments and growing trends in the field of biodiesel production. The chapters deal with biodiesel production methods. It also encompasses issues related to the use of inexpensive inedible raw materials and production of biomass feedstock with properties that may help it to produce biodiesel. Biodiesel is commonly produced by the transesterification process. The several methods for carrying out this technique include common batch process, supercritical processes, ultrasonic methods, and even microwave methods. This book would be a rich source of information...
