Production of Biodiesel from Waste Vegetable Oil via KM Micromixer by M. F. Elkady, Ahmed Zaatout, Ola Balbaa

“…The production of biodiesel from waste vegetable oils through its pretreatment followed by transesterification process in presence of methanol was investigated using a KM micromixer reactor. The parameters affecting biodiesel production process such as alcohol to oil molar ratio, catalyst concentration, the presence of tetrahydrofuran (THF) as a cosolvent, and the volumetric flow rates of inlet fluids were optimized. …”
