Biodiesel Production Via Heterogeneous Transesterification Of Palm Olein And Waste Oils

Biodiesel Production Via Heterogeneous Transesterification Of Palm Olein And Waste Oils

In the present work, attempts have been made to use calcium oxide (CaO) as a heterogeneous catalyst in the transesterification of triglycerides with methanol to produce methyl esters (biodiesel) as the main product. Laboratory CaO as well as waste CaO from the shells of crabs (Scylla serrata) and co...
