Conversion of used frying oil to diesel fuel by transesterification: Preliminary tests
Abstract
Used frying oil was transesterified by reaction with excess alcohol under both acidic and basic conditions. The alcohols used were: methanol, ethanol, 1‐propanol, 2‐propanol, 1‐butanol and 2‐ethoxyethanol. Yields of the fuels determined by gas chromatography and their viscosities are reported. The best result was obtained using methanol with catalysis by potassium hydroxide. The methyl ethyl and 1‐butyl esters all ran very well in short‐term engine tests with a laboratory high‐speed diesel engine.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
