Biodiesel or fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) is a clean-burning renewable fuel that is alternative to petroleum fuel. In this study, chromium–aluminium (Cr-Al) mixed oxides were synthesized, characterized and used as catalyst in the transesterification of cooking palm oil (CPO) to produce FAME. The r...
