  • 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.
  • Is sunflower vegetable oil a good choice for biodiesel production?
  • Therefore, the properties of biodiesel prepared from used vegetable oil were invariably close to those of commercial diesel. Thus, it can be concluded that sunflower vegetable oil is a good choice for large-scale production of biodiesel [ 20 ]. These catalysts are benign to the environment and are basically double-layered hydroxides.
  • How a catalyst is used to produce biodiesel from sunflower oil?
  • Thereafter, the catalyst is employed to produce biodiesel from sunflower oil via transesterification process in which the effect of various operating parameters, i.e. reaction time, methanol to oil ratio and catalyst load on the biodiesel yield was determined.
  • Is sunflower a good candidate for sustainable biodiesel standards?
  • These continuity trends make sunflower a good candidate for sustainable biodiesel standards, which indicate that sunflower could be directly involved in biodiesel market. In other words, the continuous production trends of sunflower oil could justify that it could be used for both food and renewable fuel.
  • Can India produce large-scale sunflower biodiesel?
  • With the data presented in Tables 1, 2 and 3, an attempt has been made to provide a glimpse into the existing overall picture of sunflower production in India. India ranks among the top 15 producers of sunflower, at the world level, and thus, would be able to provide raw material for possible large-scale sunflower biodiesel production.
  • 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.
