Biodiesel production using ultrasound and conventional transesterification methods

In this study ultrasound-assisted transesterification of inedible olive oil was compared with conventional magnetic stirrer method. Ultrasound could effectively increase biodiesel yield and simultaneously reduce both the reaction time and the amount of energy consumption in comparison with conventional method. Therefore, ultrasound heating method can be introduced as a suitable alternative method for biodiesel production from inedible olive oil.
