Summary of a different methods of the DT of BSF larvae to biodiesel.
Method | Type of Insect and Reaction Condition | Biodiesel Conversion/Yield | Ref. |
---|---|---|---|
Reflux | BSF; ratio hexane: methanol of 1:2 (v/v); ratio BSF larvae: solvent of 1:6; H2SO4 loading of 1.2 mL; 120 °C and 90 min. | 94.14% | [44] |
Reflux | BSF; ratio BSF larvae: methanol of 1:8 (wt/v); ratio BSF larvae to catalyst of 1:16 (wt/v); 110 °C and 60 min. | 96.2% | [38] |
CCD | BSF; ratio BSF larvae: methanol of 1:2 (wt/v); NaOH concentration of 7 wt%; room temperature and 20 min. | 93.8% | This study |
Thermal induced | BSF; ratio BSF larvae: methanol of 1:10 (w/w), 390 °C and 1 min. | 94.1% | [12] |
