“…Methods for carrying out this transesterification reaction include common batch process, supercritical processes (Demirbas, ), ultrasonic methods (Pal & Kachhwaha, ), microwave methods (Motasemi & Ani, ), use of a bubble column reactor (Wulandani et al., ), use of a membrane reactor (Vares, SarmastiEmami, & Tahvildari, ), reactive distillation (da Silva, Santander, Batistella, Maciel Filho, & Maciel, ; Poddar, Jagannath, & Almansoori, ), and fluidized bed reactor (Chen, Liu, Yao, Qi, & Yan, ). The transesterification process is catalyzed by alkalis, acids, enzymes (Chen et al., ), and heterogeneous catalysts (Chopade, Kulkarni, Kulkarni, & Topare, ).…”
