The presence of free fatty acid (FFA) in waste vegetable oil (WVO) is undesired and must be removed. The present study synthesized amine imprinted manganese ferrite (MnFe2O4-DEA) via coprecipitation method and used it for the removal of FFA in WVO. Fourier transformed Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) an...
