Phytoremediation of highly contaminated mining soils by Jatropha curcas L. and production of catalytic carbons from the generated biomass
(Elsevier, 2019-02)
This paper deals with the removal of heavy metals from marginal soil mixtures from the Cobre Las Cruces and Aznalcóllar mining areas containing high concentrations of metals (Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Hg, Pb and As) by means ...

Biodiesel production from olive-pomace oil of steam-treated alperujo
(Elsevier, 2014)
Recently interest has been revived in the use of plant-derived waste oils as renewable replacements for fossil diesel fuel. Olive–pomace oil (OPO) extracted from alperujo (by-product of processed olives for olive oil ...

Cetane number prediction of waste cooking oil-derived biodiesel prior to transesterification reaction using near infrared spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2019-03)
Fifty waste cooking oils (WCOs) were transesterified with methanol (1:8 WCO:methanol molar ratio) at 60 °C for 60 min using NaOH as catalyst (1% wt.). Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) composition of the resulting biodiesels was ...

Determination of the Acidity of Waste Cooking Oils by Near Infrared Spectroscopy
(MDPI, 2019)
Waste cooking oils (WCO) recycling companies usually have economic losses for buying WCO not suitable for biodiesel production, e.g., WCO with high free acidity (FA). For this reason, the determination of FA of WCO by ...

Esterification of Free Fatty Acids with Glycerol within the Biodiesel Production Framework
(MDPI, 2019)
Companies in the field of the collection and treatment of waste cooking oils (WCO) for subsequent biodiesel production usually have to cope with high acidity oils, which cannot be directly transformed into fatty acid methyl ...

Production of Oxygenated Fuel Additives from Residual Glycerine Using Biocatalysts Obtained from Heavy-Metal-Contaminated Jatropha curcas L. Roots
(MDPI, 2019)
This work aims to shed light on the use of two biochars, obtained from the pyrolysis at 550 C of heavy-metal-contaminated Jatropha curcas L. roots, as heterogeneous catalysts for glycerol esterification using residual ...

Valorization of a high-acidity residual oil generated in the waste cooking oils recycling industries
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CSIC: Instituto de la Grasa, 2019)
A sludge fraction is obtained from the industries which recycle cooking oil and this sludge con-tains a large amount of oil with an extremely high acidity (> 60%). In this work, we propose a scheme for methyl ester production ...

Análisis de residuos orgánicos y posibles contenido en ánforas púnicas y turdetanas procedentes del Valle del Guadalquivir
(Departament de Prehistòria i Arqueologia de la Universitat de València, 2016)
En este trabajo abordamos el estudio de los principales contenedores anfóricos que circularon en el Bajo Guadalquivir durante la II Edad del Hierro, cuáles eran los más representativos desde el punto de vista cuantitativo ...

Biodiesel production from waste cooking oil in an oscillatory flow reactor. Performance as a fuel on a TDI diesel engine
(Elsevier, 2018-09)
This paper describes the biodiesel production from waste cooking oil (50% (v/v) olive oil/sunflower oil) in an oscillatory flow reactor (OFR) in batch mode. We mainly focused on the characteristics of the biodiesel and ...
