Development of a laboratory scale reactor with controlled high pressure sampling for subcritical Methanolysis of biodiesel
The objective of this work was to develop a laboratory scale reactor for biodiesel production from subcritical methanol transesterification. The design was based on utilizing a high pressure system from diesel engine to regulate near critical condition and sample the converted product. The reactor c...
