Synthesis Of Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) From Palm Oil Via Non-Catalytic Supercritical Fluid Reaction

Palm oil is abundantly available in Malaysia and has been shown to be a promising feedstock in fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) or biodiesel production compared to other vegetable oils. In the present study, palm oil was utilized as the source of triglycerides in supercritical fluid reactions. The so...
