Popis: In this research, the kinetic of the transesterification of algae oil with methanol in presence of sodium hydroxide was studied. The final conversion was determined using the acid value and it was obtained a conversion of 70 % at 8 h. The experimental results were found to fit a first-order kinetics. Finally, the kinetic constant was determined for the algae oil transesterification.
