Production of biodiesel from palm oil catalyzed by alumina-supported and silica-supported catalyst / Rozaimy Abdul Rahim

The main objectives of this study were to determine the conversion of palm oil into biodiesel by using a different type of catalyst. Transesterification of palm oil with methanol has been studied in a heterogeneous system using alumina loaded with calcium oxide and potassium iodide besides the silic...
