At the present time the number of cars is almost equal to the number of people in the world. And this
is just one sphere of industry, which use oil and gas. The amount of harmful emission into the
atmosphere can be called critical already for a long time. Scientists all over the world are looking for
renewable and environment friendly sources of energy. One of these fuels is biodiesel. This fuel is
obtained using reaction of trans-esterification of fatty acid and methanol. Fatty acids contain in a
variety of vegetable oils.
In the new stage of improving the process of esterification of vegetable fats researchers [1 - 6]
evaluated the possibility of heterogeneous catalytic systems and the implementation of the
esterification reaction in supercritical methanol. This, of course, reduces the amount of waste and
reduce the corrosive effect of the reaction mass of the equipment. On the other hand the problem of
effective separation of the reaction products and improve the efficiency of the process remain
unresolved
