Is fatty acid methyl ester biodiesel?

Is fatty acid methyl ester biodiesel?

Answer:

Due to technology, raw materials and other reasons, the production of fatty acid methyl ester, conversion rate is low, high acid value, can not be blended with diesel oil used in the car. At present, the price of biodiesel is low and the production cost is high, and the production of plasticizer with fatty acid methyl ester is relatively rich!
Only by adding some additives to reconcile can be called bio diesel. Therefore, biodiesel is the main component of fatty acid methyl ester
Biodiesel, as its name implies, is similar to the physical and chemical properties of diesel oil, including viscosity, calorific value, flash point, acid value, sixteen alkanes, etc., the natural fatty acid methyl ester is not bio diesel,
