Abstract
⺠An engineering approach to produce biodiesel enzymatically from waste cooking oil. ⺠The yields of methyl esters and glycerol reached 94.3% and 99.7%, respectively. ⺠The reactor system was modified to improve the separation of hydrophilic impurities. ⺠Water generated during esterification of free fatty acids was removed efficiently. ⺠Long-term operation was possible with less than 0.2% residual triglyceride.
