Biodiesel is an environmentally friendly fuel which can be produced from treated used cooking oil (UCO). UCO treatment involves**the removal of impurities from UCO. Removal of impurities increases the quality of the UCO and of the biodiesel produced with it.**Also, the treated UCO used for biodiesel production must be free of toxic substances (e.g. toluene and benzene). Toxic**substances in the UCO may be found in the biodiesel, and their presence is not desirable because biodiesel is an environmentally**friendly fuel. Walker Industries removes impurities from the oil by adsorbing them onto dispersed water droplets. The proposed**project will improve the removal of impurities from the UCO by using additives that promote their sorption onto small water**droplets, while limiting the volumes of water used. The proposed project will also prevent the formation of benzene and toluene**during the UCO treatment. This goal will be achieved by controlling the treatment temperature to avoid UCO degradation and by**eliminating free radicals, which can catalyze the formation of toluene and benzene.

生物柴油是一种环境友好的燃料，可以从经过处理的废食用油(UCO)中生产。UCO处理包括**去除UCO中的杂质。去除杂质可提高UCO及其生产的生物柴油的质量。**此外，用于生产生物柴油的经过处理的UCO必须不含有毒物质(如甲苯和苯)。UCO中的有毒物质可能存在于生物柴油中，它们的存在是不可取的，因为生物柴油是一种环境友好的燃料。沃克工业公司通过将杂质吸附到分散的水滴上来去除石油中的杂质。拟议的**项目将改善UCO中杂质的去除，方法是使用添加剂，促进它们吸附在小水滴上，同时限制用水量。拟议的项目还将防止在UCO处理过程中形成苯和甲苯**。这一目标将通过控制处理温度以避免UCO降解和**消除可催化甲苯和苯的形成的自由基来实现。
