Potential of spent coffee grounds for biodiesel production and other applications

This work studied the extraction of lipids from spent coffee grounds (SCG) and the possibility of using the extracted lipids for biodiesel production. Thus, the SCG were first characterized, in particular for their carbon/nitrogen ratio (C/N 8) and higher heating value (HHV = 19.0 MJ/kg). These resu...
