MEMBRANE-BASED TREATMENT OF BIODIESEL COMPOSITIONS TO REMOVE IMPURITIES

Treatment of a biodiesel composition to remove impurities such as glycerol from the biodiesel composition using a membrane support. The biodiesel composition flows on one side of the membrane support and an acidic washing solution flows on the opposite side of the membrane support. Glycerol and other low molecular weight impurities having an affinity towards water are transported from the biodiesel composition to the acidic washing solution through the membrane support. The membrane support may include a plurality of hydrophilic polymer hollow fibers disposed in a support module.
