The present invention provides a biodiesel process capable of yielding a mono- alkyl ester biodiesel. In one embodiment, a process for yielding biodiesel comprises providing a feed stream. Preferably, the feed stream comprises a mono-alkyl esters, salts, alcohol and glycerol. The process also comprises substantially separating alcohol from the feed stream to yield a first stream. The first stream comprises mono-alkyl esters, glycerol and salts. A separation of alcohol from the first stream is performed by volatility. Furthermore, the process of the invention comprises substantially separating salts from the first stream to yield a vapor stream. The vapor stream also comprises mono- alkyl esters and glycerol. Separation of salts of the vapor stream is also performed by volatility. Glycerol and mono-alkyl esters of the vapor stream are also substantially separated so as to yield a biodiesel. Preferably, the biodiesel is a fuel grade biodiesel comprising fatty acid mono-alkyl esters.

La présente invention concerne un procédé de production de biodiesel permettant d'obtenir un biodiesel à base d'esters de monoalkyle. Dans un mode de réalisation, un procédé permettant d'obtenir un biodiesel consiste à utiliser un flux d'alimentation. De préférence, le flux d'alimentation comprend des esters de monoalkyle, des sels, de l'alcool et du glycérol. Le procédé consiste également à séparer sensiblement l'alcool du flux d'alimentation en vue de l'obtention d'un premier flux. Le premier flux comprend des esters de monoalkyle, du glycérol et des sels. Une séparation de l'alcool du premier flux est réalisée par volatilité. En outre, le procédé de l'invention consiste à séparer sensiblement les sels du premier flux en vue de l'obtention d'un flux vapeur. Le flux vapeur comprend également des esters de monoalkyle et du glycérol. La séparation des sels du flux vapeur est également réalisée par volatilité. Le glycérol et les esters de monoalkyle du flux vapeur sont aussi sensiblement séparés en vue de l'obtention d'un biodiesel. De préférence, ce biodiesel est un biodiesel de qualité carburant comprenant des esters de monoalkyle d'acides gras.
