Optimized separation of FAME from soybean oil: a route to biodiesel with superior cold-flow properties
This study presents the optimization of an innovative urea complexation method for efficiently separating fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) from soybean oil to obtain a high-purity biodiesel as the main product. Operating parameters, including urea-to-FAMEs mass ratio (0.5:1–1.5:1), crystallization temperature (4 °C and...
