| Summary: | Biodiesel, also known as fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), is an alternative
fuel for diesel engines that is gathering attention worldwide. However, the burden of
excess low-value glycerol by-product that is produced in traditional
transesterification may thwart the growth of the biodiesel industry. Therefore, this
study aims to investigate the feasibility of two processes (two-step and single-step) to
produce glycerol-free FAME.
Biodiesel, juga dikenali sebagai asid lemak metil ester (FAME), adalah
bahan api pengganti untuk enjin diesel yang sedang mendapat perhatian di seluruh
dunia. Walau bagaimanapun, tanggungan daripada produk hasil sampingan gliserol
bernilai rendah yang dihasilkan berlebihan dalam transesterifikasi lama boleh
menggagalkan perkembangan industri biodiesel. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk
mengkaji keberkesanan dua proses (dua-langkah dan langkah-tunggal) untuk
menghasilkan “FAME” bebas gliserol. |
