8. History of biodiesel
1890- Rudolf diesel – biodiesel from
vegetable oil (1st person).
1970 & 1980- Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) suggested that fuel should be
free from sulphur dioxide, carbone monoxide
and nitrogen oxides.
2011- European countries were the largest
that made biodiesel almost about 53%.
Transesterification of vegetable oil was
conducted as early as 1853 by scientists E.
Duffy and J. Patrick, many years before the
first diesel engine become function.

Various utilization of pupae
The rapidly increasing demand of petroleum products for energy in the transport, industry,
agriculture and other sectors has led to escalating prices and huge import bill. The reserves of
fossil fuel are also depleting. The tremendous use of petroleum and diesel is responsible for
alarming pollution of environment. Hence, alternative sources of energy for fulfilling the
requirements are being considered worldwide.
Bio-diesel is a renewable and environmentally friendly fuel, which is produced from vegetable oil or animal fat through a chemical process, which has almost no sulphur, no aromatics and has about 10% built in oxygen. It is fatty acid ethyl or methyl ester.
Biodiesel is monoalkyl ester
Petroleum diesel/fossil diesel:
fossil diesel is produced when crude oil undergoes fractional distillation between the temperatures of 200oC and 350oC at atmospheric pressure,
To produce a mixture of carbon chains that contains between 8 and 21 carbon atoms per molecule.
Petroleum diesel is a fuel that is used to operate diesel engine-internal combustion engine.
India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world today and consequently is one of the largest and fastest growing energy consumers. India is the third largest consumer of oil and petroleum products in the world in 2016, after the United States and China. India imports around 70% of its crude oil and petroleum product requirement. The oil import expenditure has increased by more than six times in the last 25 years due to an increasing population, demand and escalation in global prices.
In 1890s Rudolf diesel – first person who made biodiesel from vegetable oil.
The international energy agency set a goal to reduce the usage of petroleum and coal and switched on to biofuels till 2050
In 1948, the Power Alcohol Act heralded India’s recognition of blending petrol with ethanol. The main objective was to use ethanol from molasses to blend with petrol to bring down the price of sugar, trim wastage of molasses and reduce dependence on petrol imports. Subsequently, the Act was repealed in 2000, and in January 2003, the Government of India launched the Ethanol Blended Petrol Programme (EBPP) in nine States and four Union Territories promoting the use of ethanol for blending with gasoline and the use of biodiesel derived from non-edible oils for blending with diesel (5% blending). In April 2003, the National Mission on Biodiesel launched by the Government identified Jatropha curcas as the most suitable tree-borne oilseed for biodiesel production. Due to ethanol shortage during 2004-05, the blending mandate was made optional in October 2004, and resumed in October 2006 in 20 States and 7 Union Territories in the second phase of EBPP. These ad-hoc policy changes continued until December 2009, when the Government came out with a comprehensive National Policy on Biofuels formulated by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), calling for blending at least 20% biofuels with diesel and petrol by 2017
It can reduce our dependence on foreign petroleum.
Petroleum imports are at record levels in the United States, and will continue to rise as domestic
oil supplies shrink. Our transportation sector, with its great demand for gasoline and diesel fuel,
relies almost exclusively on petroleum for energy. Biodiesel can be produced domestically from
agricultural oils and from waste fats and oils. Because it can be used directly in diesel engines,
biodiesel offers the immediate potential to reduce our demand for petroleum.
It can leverage limited supplies of fossil fuels.
Regardless of whose perspective we choose to believe on the future of coal, oil, and natural gas,
their supply is, ultimately, limited. Biodiesel can help us leverage our use of these fuels.
It can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The burning of fossil fuels during the past century has dramatically increased the levels of carbon
dioxide (CO2) and other .greenhouse gases. that trap heat in our atmosphere. Their implications
are hotly debated, but the levels of these gases have unquestionably risen at unprecedented rates
in the context of geological time1. To the extent that biodiesel is truly renewable, it could help
reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector.
It can help reduce air pollution and related public health risks.
One of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.s (EPA) primary charges is to reduce public
health risks associated with environmental pollution. Biodiesel can play a role in reducing
emissions of many air pollutants, especially those targeted by EPA in urban areas. These include
particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), sulfur oxides (SOx),
nitrogen oxides (NOx), and air toxics. Has almost no Sulphur
In built Oxygen content
Burns fully
No Aromatics
Complete CO2 cycle
Emissions reductions compared to petroleum diesel:
Carbon monoxide -20%
Unburned hydrocarbons -30%
Particulate matter -22%
Sulphates -20%
PAH -50%
Mutagenicity -20%
It can benefit our domestic economy.
Spending on foreign imports of petroleum takes dollars away from our economy. Biodiesel can
help us shift this spending to domestically produced energy, and offers new energy-related
markets to farmers.
One gallon of biodiesel provides the same benefits used neat (100%) or
used in blends, such as B20 (20% biodiesel with 80% diesel fuel)
Because the tailpipe emissions of biodiesel vary linearly with the blend level, the benefit of any
blend level of biodiesel can be estimated by using the following formula: percent biodiesel
multiplied by biodiesel life cycle inventory plus percent diesel fuel multiplied by diesel fuel life
cycle inventory.
Density: Knowing the density is also
necessary in the manufacturing, storage, transportation and distribution process of biodiesel
as it is an important parameter to be taken into account in the design of these processes. The density of biodiesel is
typically higher than that of diesel fuel and is dependent on fatty acid composition and
purity.
In silk producing areas, the disposal
of large quantities of pupae can cause serious environmental problems (Wang Jun et al.,
2010). The utilization of this resource for feed and food or for the production of valuable
biological substances such as chitin, protein, oil and fatty acids (α-linolenic acid) is a way to
reduce the environmental impact of silk production.
A systematic analysis of the fatty acid composition and comparable fuel properties are important to select the best species for biodieselproduction. These fatty acids have a direct impact on the chemical and physical properties of biofue
Viscosity:Viscosity is one of the most important properties of biodiesel. Viscosity influences
the ease of starting the engine, the spray quality, the size of the particles (drops), the
penetration of the injected jet and the quality of the fuel-air mixture combustion (Alptekin
and Canakci 2009). Fuel viscosity has both an upper and a lower limit. The fuel with a too
low viscosity provides a very fine spray, the drops having a very low mass and speed. This
leads to insufficient penetration and the formation of black smoke specific to combustion in
the absence of oxygen (near the injector). Too high viscosity also causes operational
problems at low temperatures because the viscosity increases with decreasing temperature

Yield was calculated on dry weigth basis. Solvents such as alcohols, hexane, chloroform, benzene, and ether can be used to extract pupae oil.
Silkworm pupae are first separated from the fibrous sheath (pelade), dried to remove
moisture, and crushed to form a powder. This powder is soaked in a suitable solvent
and the pupae oil extracted by a Soxhlet extractor. The solvent used for extraction can be reused after it is separated from the pupae oil. Indian Standard IS 9586 (1980)
explains a solvent extraction process for extracting the pupae oil from silkworm pupae
using hexane as a solvent (Patel and Modasiya, 2011).
Adv:
As compared to the mechanical extraction method, the solvent extraction method makes high oil yield, spends lower production cost and less time and care, it is a much safer alternative to the previous way. You won’t have to spend all day long to watching you expellers working! The solvent extraction method always have disadvantages, Large quantity, can work continuously, high pressure, for example, the high construction cost of the solvent extraction and refining workshop.
Raw materials enter one side of the press and waste products exit the other side. The machine uses friction and continuous pressure from the screw drives to move and compress the pupal material. The oil seeps through small openings that do not allow solids to pass through. Afterward, the pressed pupae are formed into a hardened cake, which is removed from the machine. Pressure involved in expeller pressing creates heat in the range of 140–210 °F (60–99 °C).[1] Raw materials are typically heated up to 250 °F (121 °C) to make the pressing more efficient, otherwise the pressing itself will heat the oil to 185–200 °F (85–93 °C).[2] Some companies claim that they use a cooling apparatus to reduce this temperature to protect certain properties of the oils being extracted
Adv:
The mechanical extraction is a greener and healthier way of making oil for there will be no solvent (chemical) residues in oil. The expeller pressed oil is cleaner more pure oil, higher in natural colors and flavors. The advantages of pure mechanical extraction are lower initial investment costs, higher-value edible oil and meal, less complex operation, versatile to process many kinds of oil seeds, The disadvantages are high power requirements, wear and tear on the equipment that requires maintenance, and lower yield due to residual oil in the meal.
Cage: This assembly houses the screw and cage bars. As seeds pass through this section, oil seeps out into the oil reservoir below. Some solids pass through as well and are pumped out with the crude oil.Screw: This conveys the seeds through the press cage and against the cage bars. The action of the seeds being conveyed against the cage bars squeezes the oil out of the meal. When the meal reaches the end, the cake falls out and is conveyed to the next process. A motor is used to drive this screw.Cage Bars: These bars are spaced very closely together and form a ring around the screw. When the cage is closed, these encircle the screw. As mentioned above, these work with the screw to help shear and press the oil out of the seeds.
