Reducing free fatty acid in used cooking oil using bagasse adsorbent

The used of bagasse as adsorbent is not common or apparent. This is odd especially for several reasons;(1)the structural component of bagasse which is made up of carbon material is suitable as adsordent, (2)bagasse is in abundance, easily available and not used led to waste issue and (3) adsorbent b...
