An integrated process of catalytic composite membranes (CCMs) and sodium methoxide was developed to produce biodiesel from waste chicken fat. The free fatty acids (FFAs) in the chicken oil were converted to methyl esters by esteri?cation with methanol using a novel sulfonated polyethersulfone (SPES)/PES/non-woven fabric (NWF) CCMs in a ?ow-through catalytic membrane reactor. The CCM is that the NWF ?bers were fully embedded in SPES/PES with a homogeneous and microporous structure. The oilobtained after esteri?cation was carried out by transesteri?cation of sodium methoxide. The results showed that the FFAs conversion obtained by CCMs with the acid capacity of 25.28 mmol (H+) was 92.8% at the residence time 258 s. The CCMs present a good stability during the continuous running of 500 h. The conversion of transesteri?cation was 98.1% under the optimum conditions. The quality of the biodiesel met the international standards.
