Effect of design parameters on esterification pretreatment by modified reactive distillation of high free fatty acid oil with ethanol
To treat high free fatty acid (FFA) feedstock, the reduction of FFA by esterification was investigated in a modified continuous reactive distillation column. In the study, the molar ratio of ethanol to crude palm oil was 8:1 and the reaction temperature was 80±5 oC with Amberlite-15 catalyst and f...
