Kinetic study for biodiesel production from dairy waste via catalytic microwave heating

Abstract. Biodiesel production from waste such as wastewater sludge, palm oil mill effluent and dairy provide more sustainable approach greener energy. This paper analyzes the kinetic modelling for biodiesel scum via microwave heating transesterification. The results this study show that transesterification of is a first order which defines dependent on concentration one reactant linearly. activation energy reaction was validated to be 18.12 J/mol frequency factor 3.163 s-1. It process in lower than past works have been done. comparison value tabulated analysis section.
