Microwave application for the detection of biodiesel-glycerine and biodiesel-water interfaces in the biodiesel production

In biodiesel industry there is a need to detect interfacing layer between biodiesel and glycerine after the transesterification and interfacing layer between water and biodiesel after the washing process. The detection of these two interfaces is important for separation process. In this work, a simp...
