Calcined sodium silicate （CSS） catalyst exhibited much higher catalytic activity and stability. A maximum biodiesel yield of 98.9~ was achieved at methanol/oil mole ratio of 12：1, reaction temperature 65℃, reaction time 3.0 h, and CSS/oil mass ratio of 2 Wffo. After 7 consecutive reactions without any treatment, biodiesel yield reduced to 82.5%. Considering technological and economic feasibility, CSS base catalyst supported on 0 rings was prepared for continuous transesterification. The maximum yield was 99.1% under optimum conditions （reaction temperature 55 ~C, methanol velocity 1 ml. rain- 1, oil velocity 3 ml- rain- 1, and 5 tower sec- tions）. These results indicate that this new continuous biodiesel production process and apparatus present a great potential for industrial application in biodiesel.展开更多
