MICROWAVE-ASSISTED TECHNIQUE FOR BIODIESEL PRODUCTION FROM CEIBA PENTANDRA SEED OIL

The continual use of fossil fuels has caused serious detrimental impacts on environment as well as human life. Biodiesel as a renewable energy resource has shown a positive effect on resolving environmental problems and helping to fulfil energy demand in the future. Due to economic and social con...
