Kinetic modeling of transesterification of refined palm oil to produce biodiesel using Strontium Oxide(SrO)as a heterogeneous catalyst

Kinetic modeling of transesterification of refined palm oil to produce biodiesel using Strontium Oxide(SrO)as a heterogeneous catalyst

Biodiesel is an alternative source of energy to replace the fuel.Basically,biodiesel are vegetable oils and animal fats which undergoes a process to produce glycerol and fatty acid alkyl esters.In this study the transesterification process was performed using Strontium Oxide(SrO)as heterogeneous cat...
