The abundance and diverse populations of Barnacle shells catching the intention as a source of calcium oxide catalyst to transesterify waste catfish fat into methyl ester. Calcium oxide supporte d with zinc oxide was prepared by ball milling method at 1:2 ratios, calcined for 3 h at 400 °C. The cha...
