Biodiesel production from oils and fats with high free fatty acids
Mustafa Canakci,J. H. Van Gerpen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a technique is described to reduce the free fatty acids content of these feedstocks using an acid catalyzed pretreatment to esterify the free acids before transesterifying the triglycerides with an alkaline catalyst to complete the reaction.
