Abstract

The main focus of this review is to offer an overview of different existing processes for converting side-stream refining products (soapstock, acid oil and deodorized distillates) into new generation energy sources. The review article calls for more research around the SSRPs for its efficient conversion into biodiesel/biofuel and outlines drawbacks of the methodologies reported in the literature so far.
