Biodiesel Production Technologies

ABOUT THE BOOK: India is major importer in the global oil market and any fluctuation in the price of the oil would affect its economy. Therefore alternative source of fuel is necessary to meet our oil demands. India has large scope of biodiesel due to the large scale of biomass availability. As per conditions of India only seeds containing non-edible oil can be considered for biodiesel. The biodiesel having the advantage of being potential renewable source of energy is known to be nontoxic, eco friendly, easy to store and to transport, and has better lubricity properties.
The book deals with various technologies for production of biodiesel. Characterization of Vegetable Oils & Waste Vegetable Oils, Rate Equation for Biodiesel Production Reaction, Anaerobic Reactors for Production of Biogas and Biohydrogen, Kinetics of Generation of Power coupled with Reduction in BOD in Effluents using Microbial Fuel Cell and Micellar Spectrophotometric Determination of Metal Ions in Samples of Biodiesel are other major themes of this book.
The book will be handy reference for students, academicians, researchers biotechnologists, chemical and bio-engineers.
