Biodiesel from Restaurant Cooking Oils Using Trans-esterification Process

摘要

The biodiesel prepared from Restaurant Cooking Oils (RCO) using trans-esterification process as well as the influence of major operating parameters on the reaction including catalyst amount, temperature, and alcohol/oil ratio have been studied in the present paper. Experimental results showed a good effectiveness of biodiesel yield 93% based on optimum conditions catalyst 1%, alcohol/oil mass ratio 2/5 under 40°C.
