Biopetrol production from oil waste
Biopetrol is defined as fuel which has the same characteristics with commercial petrol in terms of its molecular formula. The objective of this study is to find the concentration of biopetrol (isooctane) from fatty acids in palm oil waste, which are palmitic and oleic acids. Thermal cracking process...

Thermal cracking process is used to synthesize isooctane from palmitic and oleic acids.
