  • How to make biodiesel from sunflower seeds?
  • The oil extracted from seeds was applied for biodiesel production through transesterification using a 6:1 methanol to oil molar ratio with 0.7% catalyst at 50 °C for 65 min. The process resulted in a 96.2% biodiesel yield with a heating value of 41.6 MJ/kg, corresponding to 84 kg biodiesel per ton of sunflower crop and 108.8 L gasoline-equivalent.
  • Can sunflower oil be used for biodiesel production?
  • The process involves heating of oil, followed by titration, then settling and separation and finally washing. Base catalyzed transesterification process is applied for optimum yield (80%) of biodiesel. It was concluded that sunflower oil is one of the option for biodiesel production at a large scale depending on its mass cultivation.
  • What is biodiesel & sunflower?
  • Sunflower is one of the leading oil seed crop, cultivated for the production of oil in the world. Biodiesel is gaining more and more importance as an attractive fuel due to the depleting fossil fuel resources. Chemically biodiesel is monoalkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived from renewable feed stock like vegetable oils and animal fats.
  • How biodiesel is produced on pilot scale from sunflower oil?
  • In this study, an environmental analysis of biodiesel production on pilot scale from sunflower oil was performed. The life cycle of biodiesel production involves different stages: 1) agricultural phases; 2) oil extraction from seeds; 3) transesterification to obtain the biodiesel; 4) distribution and 5) waste management.
  • Can sunflower produce biogas and biodiesel?
  • The results showed the high potential of the sunflower crop for biogas and biodiesel production, even without pretreatment and acidic transesterification. The optimum biorefinery produced 11095.0 MJ bioenergy (210.9 m 3 methane and 0.084 t biodiesel) per ton of sunflower.
  • What is the optimum temperature for biodiesel production from sunflower oil?
  • The results of the present study demonstrated that 1 h of reaction and a temperature of 25 °C (which can be considered as an ambient temperature and therefore does not require energy expenditure) present the optimum conditions for the production of biodiesel from sunflower oil and give a high yield (95.28 %).
