Biodiesel production using waste cooking oil: influence of catalysts on reaction parameters
Abstract: Over a century ago, Rudolf Diesel tested the used of vegetable oil as fuel for his automotive engine, several years later, bio-based diesel obtain from trans-esterification of animal fats or vegetable oils in presence of catalyst have been used as alternative automotive fuels to safe guard the environment and avoid global warming. Cost of production process has limited the diversification and generalizes usage of biodiesel, thus exploring avenues for cost …
