Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) behavior of sesame fatty acid ethyl ester (FAEE) and methyl ester (FAME) in glycerol and co-solvents (ethanol and methanol) after producing them through transesterification of sesame oil using KOH.
- It determined the miscibility limits and phase separation at two temperatures (313.15 K and 323.15 K) using a specialized glass cell and the turbidity-point method, revealing that higher temperatures enhance biodiesel purification.
- The findings showed that methanol was more effective than ethanol as a co-solvent and provided valuable data for improving biodiesel production efficiency by leveraging the LLE properties of these mixtures.
