  • Method for Purifying Biodiesel Fuel
    Publication number: 20100212219
    Abstract: A method for purifying a biodiesel fuel includes the use of subjecting a biodiesel fuel to an electric field. The electric field forms a precipitate in the fuel that removes the impurities of excess catalysts and soap that are byproducts of the reaction that forms the biodiesel. This electric field assisted washing process can be applied to a biodiesel fuel in a batch process or, alternatively, in a continuous process.
