Concentration of biopetrol synthesized from palmitic acid through catalytic craking using granular metal as catalyst

Biopetrol is defined as fuel which has the same characteristics with commercial petrol in terms of its molecular formula. The objectives of this research are to analyze isooctane obtained from palmitic acid and to improve the concentration of biopetrol obtained from palmitic acid using catalytic cra...
