TLDR
In this study, a packed-bed reactor system using lipase-Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticle biocomposite catalyst was successfully developed for biodiesel production based on soybean oil methanolysis and the conversion rate and stability achieved were much higher than those achieved using the single-packed-bed reactors.About:

Biodiesel production : a review
Fangrui Ma,Milford A. Hanna +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the transesterification reaction is aected by molar ratio of glycerides to alcohol, catalysts, reaction temperature, reaction time and free fatty acids and water content of oils or fats.

A review of the current state of biodiesel production using enzymatic transesterification
TL;DR: This review presents a critical analysis of the current status of research in enzymatic biodiesel production and accentuates the main obstacles to the widespread use of enzymes for commercial biodiesel transesterification.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of enzymatic production of biodiesel.
TL;DR: The use of tert-butanol as solvent, continuous removal of glycerol, stepwise addition of methanol, and continual removal of Glycerol are found to reduce the inhibitory effects thereby increasing the cost effectiveness of the enzymatic process.

Immobilized Pseudomonas cepacia lipase for biodiesel fuel production from soybean oil.
TL;DR: The immobilized lipase PS proved to be stable and lost little activity when was subjected to repeated uses and was consistently more active than the free enzyme in transesterification of soybean oil with methanol and ethanol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of biodiesel fuel from triglycerides and alcohol using immobilized lipase
TL;DR: In this article, a transesterification reaction was performed using triglycerides and short-chain alcohol by immobilized lipase in non-aqueous conditions and the long-chain fatty acid ester, which is the product of this reaction, can be used as a diesel fuel that does not produce sulfur oxide and minimize the soot particulate.
