Some properties comparison between biodisesel production from crude palm oil (CPO) and olive oil and their blendings through conventional and microwave transesterification methods

Biofuel can be divided into two types, mainly bioethanol and biodiesel. To date, the researches and developments in biofuel are in high interest to produce the most desirable properties of the biofuel. Biodiesel is in great concern as it can be used to replace the petroleum diesel which is going to...

Biodiesel is in great concern as it can be used to replace the petroleum diesel which is going to deplete soon.
