About this document
Microwave vs Conventional Biodiesel Production by Sara Stofela is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses biodiesel production via transesterification and the effects of various parameters on the reaction kinetics and yield. It describes how catalyst presence significantly increases the reaction rate constants and yield. It also notes that feedstocks high in free fatty acids can cause side reactions like saponification that lower selectivity and yield by consuming catalyst and inhibiting separation of biodiesel from glycerol. Microwave irradiation is presented as a technique to potentiall
