Biodiesel production catalyzed by alumina supported potassium iodide / Zuraidah Mohd Shukeri
The conversion of rubber seed oil (RSO) to biodiesel by using transesterification reaction was studied. Heterogeneous base catalyst which is alumina supported potassium iodide, KI/AI2O3 was used to carry out the transesterification reaction. The main objective of this study is to determine effect of...
