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 ...

Extraction of phenolic compounds and production of biomethane from strawberry and raspberry extrudates
(Elsevier, 2019)
This study proposes a biorefinery approach system to treat two berry extrudates generated by the berry-tasted products industry. The berry extrudates studied were strawberry extrudate (SE1 and SE2) and raspberry extrudate ...

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 ...

Drying kinetics and effective water diffusivities in olive stone and olive-tree pruning
(Elsevier, 2019-03)
Drying kinetics of olive stone and olive-tree pruning, two important biomasses from olive culture, was experimentally assessed at six different temperatures (from 343 K to 393 K) and four sample thicknesses (from 15 to ...

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 ...

Olive oil nutritional labeling by using Vis/NIR spectroscopy and compositional statistical methods
(Elsevier, 2019)
Food nutritional labeling is compulsory in the European Union since 13 December 2016. The olive oil fatty acid composition shows high variation depending mainly on the variety. Thus, olive oil nutritional labeling is ...
