Microwave-assisted Production and Vacuum Distillation for Improved Cold-Flow Properties of Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) Biodiesel
This study aims to produce biodiesel with improved cold flow properties from PFAD feedstock by utilizing microwave and vacuum distillation technologies. Microwave-assisted PFAD esterification reaction is modelled by a novel three-dimensional multiphysics model which incorporates electromagnetic wave...
