Sequential Conversion of High Free Fatty Acid Oils Into Biodiesel Using a New Catalyst System

A sequential esterification and transesterification method was used successfully to convert high free fatty acid oil into biodiesel with almost 100% conversion. The esterification system was catalysed by ferricalginate beads (0.16:1 ferric-alginate beads to lauric acid mass ratio, 15:1 methanol to...
