Heterogeneous catalyst chromium-titanium mixed oxide was prepared and evaluated in the conversion of palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) to fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) by esterification process. The reaction occurred in a batch reactor with the temperature of 160 °C. The catalysts then were charact...
