The effects of alkaline catalysts in used frying oil biodiesel on the diesel engine performances

The biodiesel, defined as monoalkyl esters from waste vegetable oils are being produced widely as a viable alternative diesel fuels due to its lower cost, largest producer and reduces the disposal problem. In this study, the effects of catalyst formulation on biodiesel yield are evaluated by using t...
