Transesteriยฎcation reaction of rapeseed oil in supercritical methanol was investigated without using any catalyst. An experiment has been carried out in the batch-type reaction vessel preheated at 350 and 4008C and at a pressure of 45ยฑ65 MPa, and with a molar ratio of 1:42 of the rapeseed oil to met
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Response surface methodology (RSM), based on central composite rotatable design (CCRD), was used to optimize four transesterification reaction variables: methanolโtoโoil molar ratio (3:1โ12:1), catalyst (NaOCH~3~) concentration (0.5โ1.25 wt% in relation to oil mass), rea
The persistence of conventional synthetic plastic in the environment is increasingly considered as a source of ecological problem and has been motivated the research of biodegradable and biocompatible polymers. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are thermoplastic polyesters synthesized by several bacteria
Sludges obtained as tank settlings from solvent-extracted rice bran oil have been shown to be rich sources of wax and fatty acids. The wax content is variable, being about 18O/o in one sample and about 39O/o in a second sample of sludge. The wax was bleached to light colour. The crude wax shows good
