A New Heterogeneous Acid Catalyst for Esterification: Optimization Using Response Surface Methodology
Studies on heterogeneous acid catalysts for converting free fatty acids into biodiesel have been intensified over the years. This paper focuses on the optimization of a new catalyst system, ferric-alginate as a heterogeneous acid catalyst to esterify lauric acid into methyl laurate. Methanol to laur...
