Biofuels are a promising source of renewable energy because they can be used within the existing fossil-fuel system without requiring drastic modification. Means of improving the efficiency of process design have yet to receive thorough consideration, although these processes may have significant impacts on the economics of the biofuel industry. This study proposes a complete, efficient process for general application to biodiesel production, using experimentally proven reactions and thermodynamic data. The proposed process incorporates biphasic reactors, which can deliver high product yield from biomass-derived raw materials. As a result, the production cost and GWP can reach $3.26 gal-1 and 29.39 gCO2eq MJ-1 depending on the xylose concentration and the furfural yield. The analysis results indicate the importance of the properties of the reaction system in producing biodiesel. |
