DEVELOPMENT AND MODELING OF PRODUCTION OF BIODIESEL FROM SUNFLOWER OIL
A continuous process was developed for production of biodiesel from sunflower oil in basic medium. The conditions of conducting the process were found with consideration of the kinetics of the interesterification reaction. The model of the process can be useful for investigating its parameters, which will allow saving resources and time in constructing and operating the manufacturing unit for this process. In addition, this process, in comparison to other biodiesel production processes with confirmed ability to run them, can serve as a model for developing new or improving existing processes.
