Concentration of biopetrol synthesized from stearic acid through catalytic cracking using zeolites as catalyst
Biopetrol is an alternative fuel that have same characteristic with the petrol in term of its molecular formula, or to be specifically the octane number of molecules. In this research, the objective is to study the effect of catalyst which is Zeolite to enhance the production of Isooctane from Stear...
