Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer used in constructing synthetic materials and as a suspension polymerization agent. Due to its biocompatibility, it is also used as a base ...

ABSTRACT: In this study, a homogeneous alkaline catalyst was used in the production of biodiesel from raw and refined castor oil feedstock. The effect of potassium hydroxide (KOH) as a catalyst ...

The transesterification reaction kinetics of 2-(benzoyloxy)ethyl benzoate with various alcohols (ethylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 1-butanol, propylene glycol and 1,2-butylene glycol) using various ...

Catalyst performance is a relevant factor in biodiesel production because it can affect the efficiency of the process. This work provides a study of the performance of heterogeneous catalysts for ...

Abstract: The potential of palm-based neopentyl glycol diester as dielectric insulating fluid was investigated. The details of the transesterification of high oleic palm oil methyl ester (POME) with ...

Professor Kotohiro Nomura’s research group at Tokyo Metropolitan University developed two high-performance catalysts for efficient synthesis of value-added chemicals (fine chemicals, monomers) from ...

When considering renewable fuels, biodiesel is an exciting alternative energy source with great promise. The production of biodiesel fuel involves oil-based plant feedstock containing triglycerides, ...
