Important Parameters in Transesterification for Biodiesel Production
Abstract
This article presents the reviews of the production of biodiesel from transesterification. There are four common methods, which are base catalyst, acid catalyst, enzyme catalyst and supercritical method. Each methodology have different advantage and disadvantage. This article will compare each method. The factors, which affect to the production of biodiesel such as temperature and pressure, molar ratio of alcohol to oil, type and amount of catalyst, reaction time, and use of solvent, were discussed
