Process parameters optimization for synthesis of methyl ester from sunflower oil using Taguchi technique

In this work, transesterification of sunflower oil for obtaining biodiesel was studied. Taguchi’s methodology (L9 orthogonal array) was selected to optimize the most significant variables (methanol, catalyst concentration and stirrer speed) in transesterification process. Experiments have conducted...
