Kinetics of soybean oil transesterification in a batch system Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • The University of Connecticut Biofuels Consortium has investigated the kinetics of soybean oil transesterification to biodiesel, or fatty-acid methyl esters. The experimental techniques used are well known and were done on a liter bench scale batch system (1,2). The results obtained were analyzed using gas chromatography by ASTM methods (3) and were compared to other literature (1,2).
