Preface

This book is among the first ones to address novel process intensification technologies, based on integrated reactive separations, for the production of biodiesel—a mixture of fatty esters. Biodiesel is a biodegradable and renewable fuel, emerging as a viable alternative to petroleum diesel. Conventional biodiesel processes still suffer from problems associated with the use of homogeneous catalysts (e.g. expensive neutralization and separation, sa
