  Reactive Separation for Biodiesel Purification Using Hybrid Membrane Systems

  By Vaibhav Godase, Rajesh Khiste, Vyankatesh Palimkar

  Abstract: Biodiesel produced through transesterification typically contains several impurities, including residual glycerol, unreacted methanol, soaps, water and homogeneous catalysts, all of which reduce fuel quality and hinder compliance with EN 14214 and ASTM D6751 standards. Conventional purification techniques such as water washing, centrifugation and vacuum distillation are energy-intensive, generate large volumes of wastewater and often fail to efficiently remove polar contaminants. To overcome these limitations, this study examines a reactive separation …
