A Systematic Review of Biodiesel Production with Sustainable Feedstock Using Assorted Catalyst

Abstract

This research is focused on methodical appraisal and long lasting use of feed stocks for manufacture of biodiesel. Biodiesel is a good substitute to petroleum diesel because of its environmentally friendly constituents. They are renewable, sustainable with high oxygen content. Production of biodiesel form various feedstock’s using a suitable and affordable catalyst have also been reported in this review. They are produced by the reaction of a free fatty acid with an alcohol using a suitable catalyst at appropriate conditions with suitable parameters. Consideration of sundry or assorted materials for production of biodiesel became necessary in order to have an idea of quality yield of biodiesel from different materials. It is equally important to note that one of the most common input parameters for accelerating the yield of biodiesel is feed stocks. The most prevalent is catalyst, which vary for biodiesel production. There are various catalyst for biodiesel production ranging from base catalyst, acid catalyst and many more. This research delves into sustainable production of biodiesel from diverse categories and the effects of the produced biodiesel on the fuel properties. Various breakthroughs have been recorded from different researchers to increase biodiesel as a vital fuel for engines. In addition to its tremendous capacity to evacuate various problems from the environment like the greenhouse gases and global warming, they are also very affordable and renewable. Biodiesel will play a vital role in the energy investment and contribute tremendously to the increase in the local and industrial automobile economy for the future.
