Process Simulation of Biodiesel Synthesis from Microalgae via a Heterogeneous-Catalyzed Hydrolysis–Esterification Process

The hydrolysis–esterification route is an alternative process for biodiesel production from wet microalgae biomass that eliminates the energy-intensive drying and lipid extraction. In this route, lipids are hydrolyzed under subcritical water conditions to produce FFA, then esterified using heterogeneous catalyst. Proce...
