Production Of Biodiesel From Waste Cooking Oil Using Sulfated Tin Oxide Catalyst

Production Of Biodiesel From Waste Cooking Oil Using Sulfated Tin Oxide Catalyst

Biodiesel is a renewable, biodegradable and non-toxic fuel which can be easily produced through transesterification reaction. However, current commercial usage of refined vegetable oils for biodiesel production is impractical and uneconomical due to high feedstock cost and priority as food resource...
