Sponsored by the Biodiesel Production: Technologies, Challenges,
and Future Prospects Task Committee of the Technical Committee on
Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste Engineering of the
Environmental Council of the Environmental and Water Resources
Institute of ASCE Biodiesel Production: Technologies, Challenges,
and Future Prospects presents approaches, technologies, and source
materials for biodiesel production, as well as socioeconomic and
political impacts of biodiesel applications. As industrialization
and population increases, the need for energy is also increasing.
Petroleum diesel is a major fuel source worldwide that possesses
many disadvantages including decreasing fossil fuel reserves and
increasing atmospheric pollution. These pollutants have significant
negative impacts on the global environment and human health. Thus,
it is imperative to develop alternate fuels and renewable sources
of energy that are environmentally sustainable, with
biodegradability, low toxicity, and renewability and are less
reliant on petroleum products. This book presents a detailed
overview of the benefits, impacts, and production of biodiesel.
Topics include History, composition, physicochemical properties,
and standards; General methods and applications of raw materials;
Extraction of lipids from the oil-bearing materials; Nanotechnology
and genetic engineering; Conventional methods and use of resins and
adsorbents for purification; Management of coproducts; Economic
evaluation and environmental impacts; and Socioeconomic and
political considerations. Researchers, scientists, engineers,
students, policy makers, and government officials will find this
book to be an essential reference of comprehensive information on
biodiesel production.
