The transesterification reactions of Cotton seed oil with Methanol using
potassium hydroxide as catalyst by Reactive Distillation column, were studied.
The ester preparation involved a transesterification reaction, followed by
purification.
Biodiesel can be produced from pure fatty acids or from frying oil wastes. To
optimize biodiesel manufacturing, many reported studies have built simulation models
to quantify the relationship between operating conditions and process performance.
