Production Of Biofuel From Oil Palm Biomass Using Subcritical And Supercritical Liquefaction

This research project focused on the study of oil palm biomass decomposition to various liquid products in subcritical and supercritical solvents by using a high-pressure autoclave reactor with and without the presence of catalysts. The study which comprised of the decomposition process of oil palm...
