The document discusses biodiesel production from sunflower oil. Biodiesel is defined as mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal fats. It is biodegradable, non-toxic, and contains oxygen which allows it to burn cleaner than petrol or diesel. Currently, the most common feedstocks for biodiesel production are vegetable oils, animal fats, and microalgal oils, with sunflower, soybean, and rapeseed oils being some of the most promising alternatives. Biodiesel is produced through esterification and transesterification processes which convert the natural lipids into a liquid fuel that can replace or be blended with petrodiesel.

Biodiesel is defined as a fuel
comprised of mono-alkyl
esters of long chain fatty
acids derived from vegetable
oils or animal fats
It is not toxic,
biodegradable and
available, has a high heat
value, high oxygen content
(10 to 11%) and does not
contain sulfurs and
aromatic compounds
Biodiesel is a plant derived
product, and it contains
oxygen in its molecule,
making it a cleaner
burning fuel than petrol
and Diesel.
The current feed stocks of
production of biodiesel or
mono-alkyl ester are
vegetable oil, animal fats and
micro algal oil. In the midst
of them, vegetable oil is
currently being used as a
sustainable commercial
feedstock. Among more than
350 identified oil-bearing
crops, only sunflower,
safflower, soybean,
cottonseed, rapeseed, and
peanut oils are considered as
potential alternative fuels for
diesel engines

It is a liquid obtained from
natural lipids such as
vegetable oils or animal fats,
with or without use by
industrial processes of
esterification and
transesterification, and
applied in the preparation of
total or partial replacement
of petrodiesel or obtained
diesel oil . Biodiesel can be
blended with diesel fuel from
oil refining in different
