The microwave-induced co-pyrolysis of waste engine oil (WEO) with palm kernel shell (PKS) for diesel-like fuel production was effectively optimised using responses surface methodology (RSM). The reaction temperature (oC) and the WEO-to-PKS ratio were optimised using parametric studies. This study op...
