Facile Preparation of Biodiesel Using Microwave Heating

Article Preview

Abstract:

The preparation of biodiesel using a scientific microwave apparatus offers a fast, easy route to this biofuel with advantages of a short reaction time, a low oil/methanol ratio, and an ease of operation. The methodology can be utilized with new or used vegetable oil and with methanol or ethanol with a 1:6 ratio of oil/alcohol.
