Abstract
In this paper the effect of channel size on the transesterification of used cooking oil (UCO) with methanol using KOH as catalyst to produce biodiesel was investigated for capillaries with internal diameter ranging from 1 to 3 mm. A T-junction was used as the mixing zone of the two liquid phases. The effects of different parameters such as, internal diameter, methanol-to-oil molar ratio, reaction time, temperature, and catalyst concentration were investigated. Results showed that the conversion efficiency to biodiesel is increased by decreasing the channel size, whilst the interactions of the other variables are also discussed.
