Application of response surface methodology for optimization of biodiesel production by transesterification of soybean oil with ethanol

In this paper, the transesterification of soybean oil with ethanol is studied. The transesterification process can be affected by differing parameters. The biodiesel production process was optimized by the application of factorial design 24 and response surface methodology. The combined effects of t...
