POME as the most contaminated waste can be effectively utilized for biodiesel production. Supercritical transesterification offers more advantages over the other processes including higher reaction rate, without catalyst constraint, producing pure glycerol, and simple product separation process. The addition of co-solvents like CO2 should be investigated for supercritical biodiesel production from POME. Although POME is an inexpensive source to synthesize biodiesel, innovative processes are needed to maximize the oil recovery from POME. Optimization of transesterification parameters is required for high production yields and sustainable processing. © 2021 Wiley-VCH GmbH EP - 462 PB - John Wiley and Sons Inc SN - 21969744 TI - Comprehensive Review on Biodiesel Production from Palm Oil Mill Effluent SP - 439 N1 - cited By 9 AV - none ER -
