Abstract
⺠The biodiesel produced from sunflower oil and ethanol is of 100% renewable origin. ⺠EtONa is used as a homogeneous catalyst. ⺠We on-line monitor the transesterification reaction using Near InfraRed spectroscopy. ⺠A multivariate approach is used to establish calibration models. ⺠Activation energy of the reaction was determined (51.0 kJ/mol).
