  • 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 cooking oil be converted to biodiesel?
  • Used sunflower cooking oil is converted to biodiesel by conventional transesterification process using monohydric alcohol with a catalyst of sodium hydroxide in various concentrations, to give mono-alkyl esters [ 19 ].
  • Is sunflower oil a good raw material for biodiesel production?
  • From a chemical reaction perspective, sunflower oil from natural sources is the leading primary raw material beneficial to biodiesel production, as the pure triglycerides conversion to fatty acid methyl ester is not only high but also with relatively short reaction time advantage [ 5 ].
  • Can a green catalyst be used in biodiesel production from sunflower oil?
  • The energy equivalent and efficiencies of CGL, KGL and NGL as a catalyst in biodiesel production from sunflower oil were investigated depend on average input-output data from the various research paper of natural sources to synthesis the green catalyst and its utilisation in biodiesel production.
  • How many litres of biodiesel a day is produced in Malawi?
  • In 2006, an eight million US dollar biodiesel-based production plant was launched in Malawi¡¯s capital city, Lilongwe [ 15 ]. The project was led by Dutch investors, and currently processes up to 250 tons of jatropha oil seeds per day to produce 5000 litres of biodiesel.
  • Can sunflower oil be used for biofuel production?
  • The residues of the sunflower crop are inexpensive and widely available substrates. These waste streams are typically burned or even left unused, creating serious environmental issues. In the present study, sunflower oil and its residues are used for biofuel production in the biorefinery framework.
