Ultrasound Speeds Up Biodiesel Production
Biofuels are an increasingly admired source of alternative energy in times of unstable gas prices.
Production of biofuels, however, is quite slow -- about an hour to produce a few hundred milliliters in a laboratory, which is not efficient, especially when demand is high. That is why researchers at University of Missouri’s Agricultural Engineering department are working on a unique way to speed up the production process to mere minutes, allowing supply to meet that high demand.
