Transesterification reaction optimization and evaluation of biodiesel produced from seed oil of Colocynthis citrullus L.
This work presents Colocynthis citrullus L. (egusi) seed oil as a potential feedstock for biodiesel production. The transesterification process was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) with three-level-three-factors face-centered central composite design employed. Catalyst (NaOH) amoun...
