Production of Ethyl Esters by Direct Transesterification of Microalga Biomass Using Propane as Pressurized Fluid.

This work aimed to produce ethyl esters from Chlorella vulgaris microalgae biomass, using an immobilized enzymatic catalyst associated with pressurized fluid (propane) by direct transesterification. In order to optimize the ethyl conversion, different temperatures (46.7-68.
