  • Can soybean oil be used as a bio-based fuel?
  • Processing of soybean oil into a diesel compatible fuel through transesterification has received much recent attention as the most likely route to large-scale adoption of bio-based diesel. To improve flow characteristics, the triglyceride that constitutes the soybean oil has to be broken apart into smaller molecules.
  • How is deoxygenation used in converting soybean oil into hydrocarbons?
  • Deoxygenation drives the overall process for converting soybean oil into hydrocarbons. Processing requirements will be similar for both fuels and chemical feedstocks if the product from deoxygenation can be introduced as a feed in a petrochemical refinery where it will undergo further reactions and separation.
  • Does soy-based biomass affect the FCC process?
  • In particular, the effect of soy-based biomass on the FCC process is of interest. Melero investigated both the cracking of 100% soybean oil, and a mixture of 30% soybean oil with petroleum, the latter being a typical feedstock for an oil refinery.
  • Is anhydrous production of biodiesel from soybean oil and methanol an original work?
  • We warrant that the article Anhydrous Production of Biodiesel from Soybean Oil and Methanol, Catalyzed by Calcium Oxide in a Recycle Reactor submited to South African Journal of Chemical Engineering is the Authors' original work. We warrant that the article has not received prior publication and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
  • What is the boiling point of soybean biodiesel?
  • The boiling point range for the soybean biodiesel was from 545.7 to 636.0°C in comparison with the diesel range from 200-330°C [ 82 ]. Because of the unsaturated chains in the soybean oil, the aromatic fraction in the product was enhanced relative to that of pure petroleum, but the PAH was reduced.
  • How is waste soybean oil processed?
  • To process waste soybean oil, a combination of transesterification and esterification can be used, shown schematically in Figure 1. The waste oil passes through a centrifugal separator to remove water and suspended solids. The oil then moves to a tank of acid catalyst, H2SO4, and methanol.
