I'm in a biodiesel class and the subject of acid pre-treating high-FFA oil with H2SO4 has come up.  However, neither the instructors nor any students know the why it works.  Can someone explain  the what and why to me?
 
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. But if you read my tiny ad, I might change my mind.
