Catalytic transesterification of waste cooking oil into biodiesel using various potassium based Al2O3 catalyst / Muhammad Amirrul Hakim Lokman Nolhakim

The waste cooking oil, WCO (from household area taman scientex, Pasir Gudang) obtained was found to have low in free fatty acids (<2%) and will undergo a transesterification process directly by using potassium salt as based catalyst. Potassium carbonate (K2CO3) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) as po...
