414“Green” Catalysts for Biodiesel2) work at low conversions, and 3) increasing the temperature exceeding the boilingpoint <strong>of</strong> water to preserve the catalyst activity and drive reaction to completion.Selectivity and side reactions. Typically, the alcohol-to-acid ratio inside an RD unitmay vary over several orders <strong>of</strong> magnitude. Especially for stages with an excess <strong>of</strong>alcohol, the use <strong>of</strong> a SAC may lead to side reactions. Selectivity was assessed bytesting the formation <strong>of</strong> side products in a suspension <strong>of</strong> SZ in pure alcohol underreflux for 24 h. No ethers or dehydration products were detected by GC analysis.AcknowledgementsWe thank M.C. Mittelmejer-Hazeleger and J.
