Abstract
⺠Biodiesel is synthesized from waste canola oil using supercritical methanol. ⺠Biodiesel yield of 102% is achieved at 270 °C and 10 MPa for 45 min reaction time. ⺠Reaction time, temperature and their interaction are the most significant factors on the yield. ⺠Side reactions are confirmed by an increase in water content of reaction product. ⺠Oxygenated compounds and methyl esters are found in products of the side reactions.
