OPTIMIZATION OF THE EXTRACTION OF FREE FATTY ACIDS APPLIED TO BIODIESEL PRODUCTION
Abstract The liquid-liquid extraction of free fatty acids (FFA) from residual oils and fats for biodiesel production, employing methanol as the solvent, has been optimized using process simulation and response surface methodology. The parameters investigated were temperature, number of stages and so...
