Biodiesel production from plant oils of African origin
(North-West University, 2018)As the search for alternative sources of energy to supplement traditional fossil-derived energy has intensified across the globe, biodiesel derived from biolipids has emerged as a promising alternative to diesel fuel. This ... -
Biodiesel production from sunflower oil using microwave assisted transesterification
(North-West University, 2013)Biofuels are becoming more attractive worldwide because of the high energy demands and the fossil fuel resources that are being depleted. Biodiesel is one of the most attractive alternative energy sources to ... -
Continuous microwave-assisted biodiesel production
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)The impetus of this study focuses on the production of fuel-substitute i.e. biofuels. This arises from its similar properties with petroleum diesel and being environmentally benign. In particular, biodiesel is defined as ... -
The cultivation and harvesting of micro–algal biomass from the Hartbeespoort Dam for the production of biodiesel
(North-West University, 2011)Renewable energy sources such as biomass are becoming more and more important as alternative to fossil fuels. One of the most exciting new sources of biomass is micro-algae. The Hartbeespoort Dam, located 37 km west of ... -
In-situ biodiesel production using liquefaction and supercritical extraction
(North-West University (South Africa), 2016)Biodiesel is an alternative source of energy with the potential to replace diesel fossil fuel. Full scale production however, has been hampered by high production costs since the extraction of oil causes excessive losses ...
