Simulation and Environmental Assessment of Biodiesel Using Supercritical Methanol

Biodiesel is a recommended petroleum-based diesel substitute mainly because it is environmentally friendly and is renewable, domestic resource. In this thesis, supercritical methanol process to produce biodiesel from the rapeseed was design and simulate by using Aspen Plus v 7.0. Process flowsheets,...
