Process simulation and catalyst development for biodiesel production

Four continuous biodiesel processes were designed and simulated in HYSYS. The first two employed traditional homogeneous alkali and acid-catalysts. The third and fourth processes used a heterogeneous acid catalyst and a supercritical method, respectively, to convert a waste vegetable oil feedstock i...
