<p>The present invention provides a process for the conversion of triglycerides in biodiesel by using chlorotrimethylsilane (TMSCI) as efficient catalyst, working in homogeneous phase, and not contaminating the final products. The process allows the complete conversion of triglycerides to the corresponding alkyl esters. The biodiesel and glycerol obtained are cleanly separated in two distinct phases allowing an easy separation thereof. The biodiesel obtained is pure and the process can be applied evenly to triglycerides derived from exhaust vegetable oils or animal fats or mixture thereof.</p> |
