Targeting the consolidation of the work from the author’s research group on biofuels, this PhD thesis is focused on developing the necessary techniques to continue with the group’s research. In this thesis the production of FAME from different non-edible sources of oils and fats: camelina, castor oil, jojoba, linseed, waste frying oil and animal fat, has been studied. These FAME have been characterized in order to assess their suitability as fuels. The author has also studied use of bioglycerol, the main by-product in biodiesel production, as a chemical feedstock for the production of 1,3-ditertbutoxypropan-2-ol, a recognized ignition quality improver. In this thesis, production and further distillation of FAME from palm kernel, babassu ...
