Effects of alkanols on the solubilization of methanol and ethanol in red palm oil for biofuel

Solubilizations of methanol and ethanol in crude palm oil (CPO) and red palm oil (RPO) were studied by using different hydrocarbon chain-length alkanols (C4-C12) as solubilizers. Ternary phase diagrams of oil/methanol/alkanol and oil/ethanol/alkanol were constructed to determine the solubilization (...
