synthesis of fatty acid methyl ester from palm oil in Sri Lanka
This work studied the flow pattern and reaction kinetics for fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) synthesis through transesterification of palm oil with methanol in a microchannel reactor. It was observed in the experiments
Materials. PFAD was acquired from the refined palm oil refining process. At room temperature (32 °C), PFAD is a yellow wax phase with fatty acid compositions of 39.82 wt%
