Productions and Characterization of Biodiesel by Base Catalyzed Transesterification Reaction from Dairy Waste Scum of DEI Dairy, Agra
Abstract: With the increase in prices and rapid depletion of petroleum-based fuels, the investigation is being done to look over an alternative fuel source. Presently, the biodiesel is mainly produced from vegetable sources such as jatropa oil, karanja oil, rapeseed, soybean, and others that could overlap with nutritional requirement of the society if produced at large scale. Also, the production cost of biodiesel from vegetable and animal sources is very high …

Optimisation of Biodiesel synthesis process from various edible oils using KOH and NaOH as homogeneous catalysts
Abstract: In the present experimental study, an optimization of biodiesel production from different kinds of edible oils (Palm oil, Cotton-seed oil and Sunflower oil) using KOH & NaOH as homogenous catalyst has been investigated by one step transesterification method. The research study was conducted into two parts. In the first experimental study, different types of edible oils (Sunflower oil, Cottonseed oil and Palm oil) have been optimised using KOH and NaOH …

Evaluation of the Emission and Engine Operability of Biodiesel and Biodiesel Blends Produced from Alkali-Catalyzed Esterification and Transesterification of Jatropha Oil Feedstock
Abstract: This study reports on the engine performance analysis of biodiesel and blends produced from jatropha-based bio-oil feedstock via combined esterification and transesterification process, the physiochemical of the bio-oil, and subsequent biodiesel produced. Jatropha bio-oil was characterized to determine its fuel properties. A liquid phase transesterification reaction at 60 min reaction time, 50°C temperature, using a methanol-oil molar ratio of 40:1 and 0.35 g of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) catalyst was carried …

Influence of Catalyst Type and Reaction Conditions on Biodiesel Conversion of Pine and Soapnut Oils
Abstract: Biodiesel produced from non-edible oils is becoming an important replacement for petroleum diesel because it is renewable, environmentally friendly, and suitable for use in existing diesel engines. It helps reduce air pollution, lowers dependence on fossil fuels, and supports sustainable energy development. Pine oil and soapnut oil are two promising non-edible feedstocks because they are easy to obtain, inexpensive, and contain chemical compounds that can be effectively converted into biodiesel. …

Optimization of Reaction Parameters for Biodiesel (Methyl Ester) Synthesis Using Surface Response Methodology
Abstract: The Polyoxo vanadate catalytic trans-esterification of waste cooking oil (WCO) was carried out by optimizing four reaction parameters which include: catalyst loading, methanol/oil ratio, temperature, and reaction time. These optimized parameters are 0.5 g, 0.8 g, and 1.2 g catalyst loading, 3:1, 6:1 and 9:1 methanol/oil ratio, 45°C, 60°C and 65°C reaction temperature, 45 min, 60 min and 90 min reaction time. The regression equation in the uncoded units of …

Design, Synthesis, and Spectroscopic Elucidation of 3-Methyl-1-Phenylpyrazol-5-One: A Cheminformatics-Aided Approach to Heterocyclic Drug Scaffolds
Abstract: Pyrazolone, a notable heterocyclic compound, has drawn increasing interest due to its broad pharmacological profile and structural versatility. The synthesis, characterisation, and biological assessment of new pyrazolone derivatives are examined in this work. A comprehensive review of existing synthetic strategies is presented, emphasizing green and efficient methodologies. Novel derivatives were synthesized using varied starting materials and catalytic systems, followed by structural confirmation through spectroscopic analyses, including NMR, IR, and mass …
