Optimization of process parameters for oleic acid esterification using microwave reactor: Catalytic activity, product distribution and reactor energy model

Mono alkyl esters of fatty acids also known as biodiesel have several advantages such as low emissions, non-toxic and biodegradable. Experiments were performed for the esterification of oleic acid (OA) using alcohol like methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH) and 2-propanol (2-PrOH) in microwave irradiated...
