The use of waste oils/fats, as well as catalyst from waste materials, for producing methyl esters (biodiesel) via transesterification has been research of recent interest. In the present work, the transesterification of waste catfish fat using barnacle and bivalve clam as a heterogeneous catalyst wa...
