Biodiesel Fuel From Animal Fat. Ancillary Studies On Transesterification Of Beef Tallow, Fangrui Ma, L. Davis Clements, Milford Hanna

Nebraska Center for Biotechnology: Faculty and Staff Publications

Transesterification of beef tallow was investigated. The solubility of ethanol in beef tallow was much higher than that of methanol. At 100 °C the solubility of methanol was 19% (w/w). The solubility of ethanol in beef tallow reached 100% (w/w) at about 68 °C. For the distribution of methanol between beef tallow methyl esters (BTME) and glycerol, the percentage of total methanol in the glycerol phase was higher than that in the fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) phase in a simulated system at room temperature. At 65-80 °C, however, the percentage of total methanol in FAME (60% (w/w)) was higher …
