Transesterification and esterification of fatty acids and triglycerides by dispersion and dispersion method for the production of fatty acid methylesters

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the basic or acidic catalyzed esterification and transesterification of fatty acids, such as oils and fats, i.e. the esters of glycerin with fatty acids, by dispersion of low alcohols, especially methyl alcohol, in the liquidic initial product. The invention is characterized in that the methyl alcohol (or other low alcohols) is fully dispersed in the reaction mixture. The invention also relates to embodiments of said method.
