Energy Efficient Recovery of Methanol and Glycerol in Biodiesel Production

Biodiesel is a renewable fuel that consists of fatty acids methyl esters – currently produced by trans-esterification of glycerides with methanol. After the biodiesel synthesis, the downstream processing steps involve the purification of crude glycerol, as well as the separation of excess methanol (...
