Abstract(s)

Biodiesel Biodiesel is an alternative fuel to petrodiesel. It can be produced from a wide range of raw materials such as vegetable oils and animal fats. Yet, the use of sources that do not compete with the food market, such as waste cooking oils - which usually feature high levels of free fatty acids (FFA’s), can lead to problems in the process of biodiesel production through alkaline transesterification. Therefore, new methodologies to successfully apply acidic oils need to be developed.
