About the Book: Nanotools for Microalgal Biodiesel Production: Advancement and
Possibilities
The utilization of nanotechnology in the biodiesel production process has
promise for enhancing the effectiveness of current procedures. The development
of nanoparticles attracts a great deal of interest for biodiesel production
because of its several advantages. The feedstock material can be altered by
nanomaterials, which can also quickly separate from one another and immobilize
the cellulases and hemicellulases needed for enzymatic hydrolysis. A vast range
of biofuels, including biohydrogen, biodiesel, bioethanol, biogas, and many
more, may be produced using nanotechnology. The two main chemical processes that
occur during the conversion of triglycerides into biodiesel are
trans-esterification and esterification.
