Biodiesel Production

<p><b>An incisive discussion of biofuel production from an economically informed technical perspective that addresses sustainability and commercialization together</b> <p>In <i>Biodiesel Production: Feedstocks, Catalysts and Technologies</i>, renowned chemists Drs Rokhum, Halder, Ngaosuwan and Assabumrungrat present an up-to-date account of the most recent developments, challenges, and trends in biodiesel production. The book addresses select feedstocks, including edible and non-edible oils, waste cooking oil, microalgae, and animal fats, and highlights their advantages and disadvantages from a variety of perspectives. It also discusses several catalysts used in each of their methods of preparation, as well as their synthesis, reactivity, recycling techniques, and stability. <p>The contributions explore recently developed technologies for sustainable production of biodiesel and provides robust treatments of their sustainability, commercialization, and their prospects for future biodiesel production. <ul> <li>A thorough introduction to the various catalysts used in the preparation of biodiesel and their characteristics</li> <li>Comprehensive explorations of biofuel production from technical and economic perspectives, with complete treatments of their sustainability and commercialization</li> <li>Practical discussions of the development of new strategies for sustainable and economically viable biodiesel production</li> <li>In-depth examinations of biodiesel feedstocks, catalysts, and technologies</li></ul><p>Perfect for academic researchers and industrial scientists working in fields that involve biofuels, bioenergy, catalysis, and materials science, <i>Biodiesel Production: Feedstocks, Catalysts and Technologies </i>will also earn a place in the libraries of bioenergy regulators.
