Concentration of biopetrol synthesized from oleic acid through catalytic cracking using zeolite as catalyst

Oleic acid is one of the major fatty acid in vegetable oil. In this research, zeolite catalysts are used over the conversion of oleic acid into isooctane as the future biopetrol in a heating mantle at atmospheric pressure. The main purposed of studies is to improve the concentration of isooctane usi...
