Abstract: Biodiesel is derived from renewable resources and has become more attractive due to its environmental benefits. Batch processes for biodiesel production have many limitations such as low production efficiency and unstable product quality，etc. Continuous processes are the trend for industrial production because of the lower energy consumption and cost. This paper presents the development statuses of common continuous reactors investigated for the production of biodiesel，such as continuous stirred tank reactors，plug flow reactors and fixed bed reactors，etc. Major advantages and disadvantages of these reactors are summarized.

摘要： 生物柴油因其具有优良的环境友好性和可再生性日益受到关注。传统的间歇反应器制备生物柴油存在生产效率低、产品质量不稳定等弊端，连续化生产节能减耗、降低成本、产生规模效益成为生物柴油工业化生产的趋势。本文简介了国内外生物柴油的发展，综述了连续搅拌釜式反应器、活塞流反应器、固定床反应器等主要连续化生产生物柴油反应器与工艺，并进行了对比。
