Preparation of solid heterogeneous catalysts for biodiesel production from palm-based feedstock

Palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) and palm stearin (PS) are side products from physical refining of crude palm oil, and it can be a good alternative feedstock for biodiesel production. In this study, PS and PFAD were chemically converted into biodiesel using solid base and acid catalysts. The rea...
