Studies on the performance of tubular flow reactor for esterification of free fatty acid from used cooking oil using highly porous cation exchange resin as catalyst

Semi-batch esterification of free fatty acid (FFA) from used cooking oil with methanol was carried out using RCP160M cation exchange resin in a tubular flow reactor (TFR). The results revealed that the conversion of FFA increased with the increase of catalyst bed height, methanol to oil mass ratio a...
