Experimental Determination of Optimal Conditions for Reactive Coupling of Biodiesel Production With in situ Glycerol Carbonate Formation in a Triglyceride Transesterification Process

Experimental Determination of Optimal Conditions for Reactive Coupling of Biodiesel Production With in situ Glycerol Carbonate Formation in a Triglyceride Transesterification Process

This study investigated a reactive coupling to determine the optimal conditions for transesterification of rapeseed oil (RSO) to fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) and glycerol carbonate (GLC) in a one-step process, and at operating conditions which are compatible with current biodiesel industry. The re...
