Production of biofuel via co-cracking of rice waste and sewage sludge / Fairous Salleh

Economic development and rising standards of living in Malaysia have led to increase in the quantity of waste generation. It is estimated that over 9 million tonnes of rice waste are generated annually from rice milling industry. The total production of domestic sewage sludge in Malaysia is 3.2 mil...
