Simulation and Economic Analysis of Biodiesel Production using Supercritical Methanol

There is an increasing interest towards the use of vegetable oils (palm oil in Malaysia) in the much sought eco-friendly biodiesel production. This study focuses on the biodiesel production using supercritical methanol. The main highlights of this process include the un-necessity of catalyst and...
