Continuous catalyst-free biodiesel synthesis from rice bran oil fatty acid distillate in a microreactor

This work proposed the catalyst-free biodiesel synthesis from the low-grade feedstock. Rice bran oil fatty acid distillate (RBOFAD) containing 65.5% of free fatty acids and ethanol were applied as a feedstock. The influence of operating parameters including residence time, reaction temperature, and...
