Two chemists at Brown University have streamlined the conversion of waste vegetable oil (WVO) into biodiesel, eliminating the need for corrosive chemicals to perform the reactions. Current techniques for the conversion of waste vegetable oil to biodiesel take time, are costly and are inefficient. —Jason Sello.

The source of magnesium can be from sea water, brine, dolomite, magnesite, and carnallite. Based on silicothermic reduction of magnesium oxide, the Pidgeon process is cheap but has a high energy demand: 366 MJ/kg Mg , compared to other common metals. Electrolytic processing is comparatively clean but usually expensive.

The system uses electricity to heat air, which is then circulated through an exchanger that heats water and distributes it to multiple buildings in the city’s Hiedanranta district (Figure 2). The hot air then flows back out of the vessel into a heat exchanger, where it heats water that is then circulated through building heating systems.

Hence, in order to reduce the cost of biodiesel production, using cheaper feedstocks such as waste oil or low-quality oil has been proposed. However, its use has been challenging as a result of impurities such as water and large amounts of free fatty acids (FFAs), which are common in most waste materials.
