INTEGRATED PROCESS FOR BIODIESEL PRODUCTION THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF THE STAGES OF SALINE DEEMULSIFICATION, DISTILLATION AND ESTERIFICATION OF FATTY ACIDS AND THEIR DERIVATIVES

摘要

The present invention relates to an integrated process for biofuel production by applying the steps of saline demulsification, distillation and integrated esterification of fatty acids and their derivatives, involving the breakdown of stable emulsions of fatty acids and their derivatives through use. isolated or combined physical processes, as well as saline demulsification of fatty residues called aqueous emulsions, which yields better yields of biodiesel through the use of physical processes such as sieving, filtration and distillation of extracted fat, followed by esterification processes. and transesterification.
