Abstract

A number of samples from solid food waste oil (SFWO) from different restaurants have been collected. Data regarding fatty acid profile, acid value, water content and kinematic viscosity were used for characterization purposes. Response surface methodology data has been used to carry out conventional transesterification optimization. The quality of the final product has been checked following the European biodiesel standard EN14214. To compare conventional and ultrasound-assisted transesterification results, energy consumption and reaction time data have been gathered. More information and result interpretation may be found in "Optimization of solid food waste oil biodiesel by ultrasound assisted transesterification" [1].
