"Biodiesel: Feedstocks and Processing Technologies" ed. by Margarita Stoytcheva and Gisela Montero

This book is intended to provide a professional look on the recent achievements and emerging trends in biodiesel production. The book should be of interest for research scientist, students, and technologists, involved in biodiesel production.

The first book section: "Feedstocks for Biodiesel Production" covers issues associated with the utilization of cost effective non-edible raw materials and wastes, and the development of biomass feedstock with physical and chemical properties that facilitate it processing to biodiesel. These include Brassicaceae spp., cooking oils, animal fat wastes, oleaginous fungi, and algae.
The second book section: "Biodiesel Production Methods" is devoted to the advanced techniques for biodiesel synthesis: supercritical transesterification, microwaves, radio frequency and ultrasound techniques, reactive distillation, and optimized transesterification processes making use of solid catalysts and immobilized enzymes.
