Production of biodiesel from low-quality vegetable oils with a high content of free fatty acids by alkaline transesterification
Vasil Kopchev
Abstract:The extraction of natural fats as well as the production of derived products based on them are renewable processes that play a major role in the modern energy industry. An example in this regard is the so-called biodiesel fuel which is Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME), the production of which in recent years has reached enormous scales. Its main advantage is that it is an ecological product (methyl ester of higher fatty acids), which before and after use does not pollute the environment. Quality biodiesel fuel,… Show more
