The evaluation of various kinetic models for base-catalyzed ethanolysis of palm oil
In this paper, the kinetics of palm oil ethanolysis with various models have been investigated in a temperature range of 25-55 degrees C. The highest yield was achieved when the conversion to ethyl ester was 97.5+/-0.5 in the stated temperature range, using ethanol:oil molar ratio of 12:1, and 1.0 w...
