Five factors, including catalyst, reaction time, reaction temperature, catalyst dosage and glycerol addition amount, were investigated by single factor experiment. Based on the results and Central-Composite Design principle, the experiment was designed and responsejsurface method was used to optimize the deacidification process. The results indicated that the optimized parameters for esterification deacidification by chemical method were reaction time 4 h, reaction temperature 215 ~2, catalyst dosage 0.3%, glycerol addition amount 115% of theoretical glycerol. The predicted and experimental ra...
