Analysis: Water-Free Washing Bio-diesel

 

 

Washing biodiesel as a process came about as a

method developed to remove the reactants-residues of the

transesterification reaction by which bio-diesel is produced. In

particular, the process entailed the removal of these residues with the

passing of water droplets through the fuel. However, in some generic

use of the term "washing biodiesel" the term "washing" has become

simply the process of removing the residues by any means that

accomplishes the task, hence dividing the washing techniques to water

washing and water-free (also termed Dry) washing. The use of water-free

washing in both batch and continuous commercial operations however

requires a thorough understanding of the underpinning sciences, as is

elucidated.
