Biodiesel production from waste cooking oil via single steps tranesterification process with the aid of sodium methoxide as a catalyst

Biodiesel popularly known as an alternative diesel fuel in developed countries mainly for transportation and agriculture industry. Now days, biodiesel became more important due to insufficient of petroleum fuel and the needs of environmental friendly energy sources. The high price of crude petroleum...
