Biodiesel production via single - step alkali catalyst in batch process

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel, produced from domestic and renewable resources. Biodiesel is biodegradable, non-toxic, and essentially free of sulfur and aromatics. Biodiesel is made through a chemical process called transesterification whereby the glycerin, it’s by product is separated from the f...
