Enzymatic Alholysis For Biodiesel Production From Waste Cooking Oil

摘要

Huge efforts have been carried out in recent years in order to develop an alternative fuel from renewable resources, such as biodiesel fuel. Therefore, the use of cooking oil as raw material is a very interesting alternative for the production of biodiesel. In this work, waste frying oil was used as raw material for enzymatic biodiesel production. Moreover, this study analyzes the influence of the type of enzymatic catalyst on the conversion of methyl esters, as well as the influence of other variables such as reaction time.
