Abstract:
This paper presents the results of scientific researches on the argumentation of technological parameters to obtain biofuel. According to the specialized scientific literature relating to synthetic chemistry, mechanism and kinetics of the transesterification of vegetable oils it has been made an experiment aimed at optimizing the parameters of the transesterification process of rapeseed oil, namely: the ratio alcohol/oil, the type of alcohol, the nature and concentration of catalyst, and the reaction temperature. In this study, different catalytic systems were considered.
