摘要: Background A major hurdle with algal biodiesel production has been the energy required to dry biomass prior lipid extraction and/or conversion. Water interferes conversion of lipids biodiesel. The focus this study was evaluate efficiency in situ transesterification method for recovery when processing varying amounts moisture and changes as reaction parameters were varied. Results Results indicated that content affected recovery. Specifically, contents above 20% by mass led statistically significant reductions However, increasing amount catalyst methanol resulted higher recoveries using wet containing 84% moisture. Using 10% (v/v) sulfuric acid solution ratio 25 mg (dry equivalent) mL-1 approximately 81% maximum yield. Conclusion This showed presence at greater than significantly decreased transesterification. Increasing improved from biomass. © 2013 Society Chemical Industry
