This paper illustrated the latest breakthroughs which involved the use of eco-friendly and recyclable magnetic palm kernel shell-derived catalysts (Fe-PKS and Fe-KOH-PKS) for methanolysis of palm oil to produce iodiesel. The magnetic catalyst is obtained from abundant carbon-based biomass, i.e. wast...
