Over the last few years fatty acid methyl esters have assumed importance as research has intensified on the utilization of vegetable oils and animal fats derivatives from liquid fuels (better known as biodiesel).Traditional batch processing has been an still is the most widely used process for this coversion. New and more efficient processing schemes. for large scale production of biodiesel for fuelfile1 purposes, is a. key for commercialization of biodiesel. In this, study a continuous process for the transesterification of triglycerides to methyl esters was investigated. This process is based a combined high shear and motionless reactor system. The experimental …

Increased environmental awareness and depletion of resources are driving to develop alternative fuel from renewable resources that are environmentally more acceptable. Esters of fatty acids (bio-diesel, derived from the transesterification vegetable oils, have properties similar to components of peh-oleior~. based diesel fuel Cost has been a major factor slowing the commercializatio of bio-diesel! Glycerol is the coproduct of the esterification process. In this work the feasibility of the glyc-erol of vegetable oil. with crude glycerol derived from the transesterification of the vegetable oils and animal fats was studied. Utilization of the crude co-product of the biodiesel process was investi-gated for …
