Preface
This book Biodiesel Production: Feedstocks, Catalysts, and Technologies includes the contribution of leading researchers in the fields of biodiesel, which will serve as a valuable source of information for scientists, researchers, graduate students, and professionals alike. It focusses on several aspects of biodiesel productions, technologies employed, and sustainability. It consists of 20 chapters, grouped together in three parts, in different technological aspects as follows.
The utilization of conventional and novel feedstocks for biodiesel production will be presented in Chapters 1–4.
Chapter 1 emphasizes on the conversion of several edible vegetable oils and animal fats to biodiesel. Different catalysts used and several factors that affect the overall biodiesel production are comprehensively discussed.
Chapter 2 provides the perspective of the biodiesel production from waste cooking oil via the conventional and modern technologies to bolster competitiveness of biodiesel with petrodiesel.
Chapter 3 addresses the state of the art and future perspectives of nonedible oils for biodiesel production. It provides several important aspects such as cultivation information, fatty acid composition, extraction, and conversion method for biodiesel production.
Chapter 4 proposes the important strategy of microalgae cultivation for the large‐scale optimization of lipid accumulation as a potential sustainable approach for biodiesel production.
In the next part, Chapters 5–14, the various types of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts for biodiesel production will be discussed.
Chapter 5 reviews the utilization of homogeneous catalysts for various feedstocks under optimum conditions to serve the growing demand of biodiesel as a cost‐effective production process.
Chapter 6 summarizes the development of metal oxide catalysts from various sources for biodiesel production. The reaction mechanistic pathways and causes of catalyst deactivation are discussed.
Chapter 7 focuses on the catalytic activity enhancement of metal oxides with particular focus on the role of supporters, their synthesis methods, and physicochemical properties to achieve eco‐friendly and economically viable processes of biodiesel production.
Chapter 8 highlights the development of new mixed metal oxides with a variety of novel acidic, basic, and bifunctional catalysts from various feedstocks for enhancing their catalytic performance. Their stability, catalyst regeneration techniques, and recommendation for full scale biodiesel production are also addressed.
Chapter 9 presents the outlook of using nanotechnology‐based catalysts for the development of more efficient, economically viable, durable, and stable nanocatalysts, targeting at achieving higher biodiesel quality and yields.
Chapter 10 reveals the advantages and issues of using ion‐exchange resins catalysts for both cation and anion exchange resins especially in continuous biodiesel production.
Chapter 11 discusses the solid bifunctional catalysts with acid–base and Lewis–Brønsted functionalities. The preparation methods,
