Comparative Study of Biodiesel Production from Palm Oil and Waste Cooking Oil Using Two-Steps Transesterification

Biodiesel is a renewable source of fuel which is seen to have the potential to substitute petroleum based diesel. In this study, a two step transesterification method was utilised for the production of biodiesel with different oil to alcohol ratio and potassium hydroxide (KOH) as a catalyst. The pro...
