In this research, the supercritical transesterification of refined vegetable oil and aqueous ethanol was carried out at temperatures 400 to 480 °C and a 12:1 ethanol to oil molar ratio, to assess the effect of temperature and residence time in the formation of a homogeneous phase, effluent appearance and increased water content derived from glycerol etherification. The results showed that water was produced at temperatures higher than 400 °C, as expected from the occurrence of glycerol etherification, and that prolonged times resulted in gas and soot formation, indicating esters decomposition. Through water mass balances, it was possible to identify the set of operation conditions in which the water formed from glycerol etherification matched with the maximum expected according to the proposed reaction scheme. 2023 artículo científico 1900-3803 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=265476046013 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2654/265476046013/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2654/265476046013/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2654/265476046013/265476046013.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2654/265476046013/movil https://doi.org/10.18041/1900-3803/entramado.2.9807 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2654 Entramado application/pdf Universidad Libre Entramado (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.19
