Kinetic study of neem biodiesel production.

Aims: The kinetic features of neem biodiesel production were studied to establish theconversion parameters that govern optimal product yield in minimum reaction span. The mechanistic features of the dual acid/base catalytic conversion were investigated to gain an insight into the influence of methoxide nucleophilic attack and catalytic restoration on reaction yield in the final stage. Study Design: The reaction kinetics was investigated by UV -Vis absorption
