Description
Scitus Academics Practical Handbook On Biodiesel Production And Properties by Rohit Kumar
Biodiesel is a domestically produced, renewable fuel that can be manufactured from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant grease for use in diesel vehicles. Biodiesel’s physical properties are similar to those of petroleum diesel, but it is a cleaner-burning alternative. Using biodiesel in place of petroleum diesel, especially in older vehicles, can reduce emissions. Biodiesel is produced using a broad variety of resources. This diversity has grown significantly in recent years, helping shape a nimble industry that is constantly searching for new technologies and feedstocks. In fact, industry demand for less expensive, reliable sources of fats and oils is stimulating promising research on next-generation feedstocks. Practical Handbook on Biodiesel Production and Properties focuses on recent trends of biodiesel research, production, and implementation. It also includes practical guidance on the identification of plant resources and their distribution, botanical description, oil extraction, production process, and biodiesel yield. The book will be essential reading for chemists, chemical engineers and agricultural scientists working in both industry and academia on the production of biofuels.
