Thermomorphic biphasic system - A greener alternative route to the synthesis of biodiesel

The thermomorphic biphasic system of heptane and methanol in the presence of K2CO3was found to be a highly effective, yet simple, method for the production of biodiesel. This process reduced the number of steps in the production, thus generating less waste than the current industrial process. The fa...
