| Abstract | Biodiesel production could be economically sustainable if raw oils, i.e., waste cooking oil or oils with a high acid content, are used for its production. However, the high content of free fatty acid (FFA) of these oils makes necessary a pretreatment before the transesterification step. Esterification using methanol and a heterogeneous catalyst should be very convenient because this reaction permits to decrease FFA content by producing simultaneously methyl esters, i.e., biodiesel. This technology was applied in a continuous packed bed reactor for the deacidification of sunflower oil, using Amberlyst 46 as heterogeneous acid catalyst at pressure of 6 bar and temperature in the range of 54–95 °C. An amount of methanol five times greater than the stoichiometric was added to sunflower oil, in order to shift the reaction equilibrium but avoiding the formation of a double liquid phase. Two different kinetic models were considered: a pseudo-homogeneous and an adsorption based, which accounts for the different affinities toward the polymeric matrix of all the species involved in the reaction and the solvent (triglycerides). For both the models, either the ideal or non-ideal behavior of the mixture was considered, and the results were compared. The kinetic parameters of the esterification of free fatty acid were regressed using a robust mathematical model and using equilibrated resins, i.e., all the experiments started only after having let the catalyst adsorb reactants and products at the operative conditions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
