An investigation was conducted on palm oil palm fruit ash (OPFA), OPFA supported by rice husk silica (RHS), and potassium-OPFA-RHS as catalysts for methyl esters production through transesterification process using waste frying oil. The catalysts showed longer lasting activity than the traditional a...
