Production and Properties Estimation of Algal Biodiesel
Abstract: The current study examines the production of biodiesel from algal biomass. The investigation was conducted to identify the optimum conditions for oil extraction and transesterification. Solvent extraction method with hexane/isopropanol as a solvent was used for oil extraction. Extracted algal oil was converted into biodiesel with conventional transesterification process, maximum yield was obtained at 1:6 molar ratio with 1 % concentration of NaOH as catalyst at 65°C. The systematic physio-chemical …

Evaluation of Diesel Engine Performance and Emissions Using Algal Biodiesel
Abstract: Algal material has captivated the attention as renewable fuel without imposing any impact on global food markets with high biomass productivity with their ability to convert CO2 to fuel, and wastewater treatment. This work has been carried to use algal biodiesel blends as fuel in a DI (direct injection) diesel engine. The fuel properties of AB10, AB20, AB30 and AB50 along with engine performance (BP and BSFC) and emissions (CO, …
