Microwave-assisted conversion of agro-industrial copra residue oil to diesel engine compatible fatty acid methyl esters

Due to the increasing concern towards fossil fuel reserve and its fluctuating price, many countries shifted towards producing biodiesel as an alternative green fuel. In this study, the main objective is to synthesis biodiesel from coconut copra, an agro-industrial residue, as potential feedstock usi...
