This paper presents economical biodiesel fuel synthesis from castor oil using mussel shell-base catalyst (MSBC). A transesterification of castor oil as non-edible feedstock to biodiesel was conducted in a flask reactor. Two catalysts were examined, where the calcined mussel shell and the impregnat...
