APPLICATION OF A BURKHOLDERIA CEPACIA LIPASE-IMMOBILIZED SILICA MONOLITH TO BATCH AND CONTINUOUS BIODIESEL PRODUCTION WITH A STOICHIOMETRIC MIXTURE OF METHANOL AND CRUDE JATROPHA OIL

Application of a Burkholderia cepacia lipase-immobilized silica monolith to batch and continuous biodiesel production with a stoichiometric mixture of methanol and crude Jatropha oil

Abstract Background The enzymatic production of biodiesel through alcoholysis of triglycerides has become more attractive because it shows potential in overcoming the drawbacks of chemical processes.In this study, we investigate the production of biodiesel from crude, non-edible Jatropha oil and methanol to characterize Burkholderia cepacia lipase
