Abstract
⺠Palm oil ethanolysis yielded 97.5 ± 0.5% ethyl esters at 25-55 °C. ⺠Temperature of the ethanolysis is inversely proportional to the reaction time. ⺠Palm oil ethanolysis below 45 °C conforms to irreversible second order kinetic model. ⺠Reaction at 55 °C conforms to both pseudo first and irreversible second kinetic orders. ⺠The rate constants, 0.018-0.088 dm3/mol min and Ea, 42.36 kJ/mol were obtained.
