Biodiesel production is a rapidly advancing field worldwide, with
biodiesel fuel increasingly being used in compression ignition
(diesel) engines. Biodiesel has been extensively studied and
utilised in developed countries, and it is increasingly being
introduced in developing countries, especially in regions with high
potential for sustainable biodiesel production. Initial sections
systematically review feedstock resources and vegetable oil
formulations, including the economics of vegetable oil conversion
to diesel fuel, with additional coverage of emerging energy crops
for biodiesel production. Further sections review the
transesterification process, including chemical (catalysis) and
biochemical (biocatalysis) processes, with extended coverage of
industrial process technology and control methods, and standards
for biodiesel fuel quality assurance. Final chapters cover the
sustainability, performance and environmental issues of biodiesel
production, as well as routes to improve glycerol by-product usage
and the development of next-generation products. Biodiesel science
and technology: From soil to oil provides a comprehensive reference
to fuel engineers, researchers and academics on the technological
developments involved in improving biodiesel quality and production
capacity that are crucial to the future of the industry.
