Investigation of solvent system for the production of biodiesel from Sludge Palm Oil (SPO) by enzymatic transesterification

Sludge palm oil (SPO) was used to produce biodiesel by direct enzymatic transesterification using locally produced Candida cylindracea lipases from palm oil mill effluent (POME). The solvent system was investigated by comparing the effect of methanol and ethanol. The yield of biodiesel and co...
