Production of Biodiesel from Coastal Macroalgae (Chara vulgaris) and Optimization of Process Parameters Using Box‑Behnken Design
Scientists from Bangladesh performed an experiment to produce biodiesel from coastal macroalgae Chara vulgaris
using an integrated method. Box–Behnken design based on response surface methods (RSM) was used as a statistical tool to analyse the suitable performing conditions for the production of biodiesel.
Results showed high calorific value and yield of the biodiesel and thus biodiesel produced from Chara vulgaris could be used as a suitable alternative fuel.
