A two-step heterogeneous catalyzed process of high free fatty acids (FFA) rubber seed oil was conducted to produce biodiesel in lab scale. Acid esterification process was first used to reduced the high FFA rubber seed oil from 78.9% to below 1%. The low cost cockle shell was utilized as a source of...
