Abstract

The substitution of traditional petroleum-based diesel fuel for others of biological nature, represents nowadays one of the greatest scientific challenges. Biodiesel is a renewable fuel derived from vegetable oils (edibles or non edibles; new or used) with similar properties to petroleum-based diesel fuel. Besides, it has significantly lower emissions of carbon monoxide, sulfur, aromatic
hydrocarbons and particulate matter. The most common way to produce biodiesel is by transesterification of vegetable oils with methanol and homogeneous basic catalysis.
