    Abstract

    © 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Abstract Nowadays, biodiesel is an alternative fuel to replace the existing petroleum-based diesel. The advantages of biodiesel are good combustion efficiency, high-lubricity, biodegradability and low toxicity. Biodiesel can be an alternate fuel to be used for running diesel engines. This paper is to present a comprehensive review on the past efforts to enhance and commercially improve the transesterification by using homogeneous base catalyst, e.g. sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. By introducing heterogeneous base catalyst such as calcium oxide which was made from waste material such as chicken eggshell, quail eggshell and ostrich eggshell it may cater the excessive washing problem to remove the excessive reactants and glycerol. It is also an environment friendly way of recycling the waste eggshells; nevertheless, the NOx emission remains high - around 5-10% more than conventional diesel fuel. Thus, subsequently, this paper also discusses emulsification of biodiesel with water to investigate its influence on the overall diesel engine performance which includes a comparison study of gas emission from pure biodiesel, diesel and emulsion of biodiesel and water. Compared with conventional biodiesel, some of the notable advantages from this water emulsified biodiesel are the emission reduction of NOx, particular matter, unburned hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide.
