| Research Abstract |
One-step supercritical BDF production method from plant oils was studied with dimethyl carbonate as one of the neutral esters, and its reaction condition toproduce fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) and glycerol carbonate as by-productswere classified. In addition, optimum condition of two-step supercritical BDFproduction method was also classified. The obtained FAME could satisfy the BDF fuel standard requirements in Japan, US etc. The other dialkyl carbonates were alsostudied, and various fatty acid alkyl esters were found to be produced. Thus, non-catalytic supercritical BDF production method was first in the world established with dialkyl carbonates.
