Explain the esterification process to convert vegetable oil into bio gas
Answers
Biodiesel production is the process of producing the biofuel, biodiesel, through the chemical reactions transesterification and esterification. This involves vegetable or animal fats and oils being reacted with short-chain alcohols (typically methanol or ethanol). The alcohols used should be of low molecular weight, ethanol being one of the most used for its low cost. However, greater conversions into biodiesel can be reached using methanol. Although the transesterification reaction can be catalyzed by either acids or bases the most common means of production is base-catalyzed transesterification. This path has lower reaction times and catalyst cost than those posed by acid catalysis. However, alkaline catalysis has the disadvantage of its high sensitivity to both water and free fatty acids present in the oils.[1]
when a person askes a question there will be two answers given by the other users u can thank them if u feel anyone's answer as inappropriate u can report that and give the reason then moderators will delete that answer if u feel someone's answer as really good there will be option beside the thanks then its the mark for brainliest answer u can mark that
