Biodiesel Fuel Production using a Continuous, Low Cost Process

The invention identifies techniques to overcome the main bottlenecks of the current methods to produce biodiesel; the immiscibility of the two reactants (oil and alcohol), and the need to maintain the reactor temperature below the boiling point of the alcohol. As a consequence of the first bottleneck, the reaction rate is limited by the interfacial...
