Introduction The global energy and environmental crisis have driven the development of renewable energy sources, aiming to reduce the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere owing to the worsening greenhouse effect.1-3 Thus, biodiesel, a mixture of fatty acids, presents as an alternative to traditional fuels from non-renewable and highly polluting sources.4 Biodiesel has advantages such as lower toxicity, lower corrosion, and better biodegradability.5 The combustion of biodiesel...

1 Introduction Chemistry is currently undergoing a transformative phase in response to the urgent need to mitigate the environmental impacts of industrial production.[1-3] Among the primary demands of modern manufacturing systems are process optimization, cost reduction, and increased productivity.[3-6] However, despite advances in automation and technology, the availability of natural and human resources remains limited.
