Peanut shells derived solid acid catalyst for biodiesel production

Waste peanut shells are contributed to a large quantity of lignocellulosic waste. This project was aimed to utilize the waste materials for a better benefit. Waste peanut shells, were used as raw material to prepare a new solid catalyst for biodiesel production. Solid acid catalyst derived from wast...
