Biodiesel production from vegetable frying oil and ethanol using enzymatic catalysis

The aim of this work was the evaluation and optimization of conditions for Fatty Acid Ethyl Ester (FAEE) production. The influence of variables such as catalyst (NaOH, Lipozyme RM IM, Lipozyme TL IM, Novozym 435), alcohol (methanol, ethanol 96% v/v, ethanol 70% v/v), reaction temperature (35 38°C),...
