Used cooking oil (UCO) is one of the potential substitutes for conventional biodiesel feedstock. In this study, different types of macroporous cation exchange resins, namely RCP160M, RCP145H, PK228LH, PK216LH, PK208LH, SK104H and SK1BH, were used as catalysts in the UCO esterification process. These...
