Microwave assisted production of biodiesel from beef tallow

© 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. In this study, microwave-heated biodiesel production from catalyzed transesterification of beef tallow was investigated for a range of reaction times between 10-30 min, temperatures between 40-60°C, amounts of alkali catalyst between 0.25-0.75% w/w, and tall...
