Biosynthesis of TiO2 Nanoparticles and Their Application as Catalyst in Biodiesel Production

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Green Nano Solution for Bioenergy Production Enhancement

Part of the book series: Clean Energy Production Technologies ((CEPT))

Abstract

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) are capturing great interest worldwide with vast applications in various areas. However, their conventional synthesis methods often pose a risk to humans and the environment due to the utilization of toxic chemicals and laborious procedures. Several works have documented the biosynthesis method of TiO2 NPs using plants and microorganisms as alternative routes and have been proven to overcome the drawbacks of conventional methods without compromising their excellent properties. Recent studies revealed that TiO2 NPs had been applied as heterogeneous catalysts and catalyst supports for biodiesel production, successfully overcoming the separation problem with homogeneous catalysts with comparable yield. This chapter reviews the various types of plants and microorganisms used for the synthesis of TiO2 NPs and their application in biodiesel production through transesterification, esterification, and simultaneous reactions.
