The invention discloses a method utilizing a supercritical
catalysis process to continuously prepare
biodiesel, and relates to a preparation method of
biodiesel. The method uses a
solid catalysis fixed-
bed reactor to carry out continuous
biodiesel production. The ester exchange reaction is carried out at a temperature of 260 to 330 DEG C under a pressure of 10 to 19 MPa, and the
alcohol / oil
mole ratio is in a range of 35:1 to 70:1. The ester exchange reaction is carried out for 1.5 to 3 minutes in the
reaction tube of the fixed-
bed reactor in the presence of a catalyst, the
reaction product is transported to a gas / liquid separator to carry out primary separation, the upper layer
methanol is recycled, the middle layer and the lower layer are coarse biodiesel and coarse glycerine, and the coarse biodiesel and the coarse glycerine are respectively subjected to post refining treatments. Through detection, people find that the
grease conversion rate is 90% to 100%. Advantages of conventional supercritical
methanol method for preparing biodiesel are all preserved, furthermore, a fixed-
bed catalyst and a
continuous production technology are used, and thus the difficult conditions of supercritical reactions are greatly improved. Moreover, no
impurity is introduced into the
system during the reaction process, so the biodiesel post-treatment is largely simplified.
