Ultrasonic assisted transesterification of palm oil with methanol using barium oxide as catalyst

The energy source which we rely on is in high demand than ever before and the solution for this is Biofuel. There are different processes which can be applied to synthesize biodiesel such as direct use and blending, micro emulsion process, thermal cracking process and the most conventional way is tr...
