METHOD OF BIODIESEL PRODUCTION Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC C10G3/00 C10L1/02 C11C3/10 C12N11/14 C12N11/16 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: method of biodiesel production is realised by the re-etherification in mixing natural oil, alcohol and a catalyst and following separation of the target product. The method is characterised by the fact that at the first stage of the re-etherification iron sulphate (II) is applied as the catalyst, after which iron sulphate and precipitated glycerol are separated and the mixture of alcohol, oil and ethers of fatty acids are supplied to the second stage of the re-etherification, at which as the catalyst used is an enzyme - lipase, immobilised on the surface, after which glycerol and the enzyme catalyst are separated and the mixture of alcohol and biodiesel is directed to a stage of the target product separation.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to simplify the process of the re-etherification reaction and increase the completeness of the reaction process.
