Synthesis of alumina-CaO-KI catalyst for the production of biodiesel from rubber seed oil; [Sintesis mangkin alumina-CaO-KI untuk penghasilan biodiesel daripada minyak biji getah]
In this research, biodiesel was produced by transesterification of rubber seed oil with methanol catalyzed by three types of alumina-supported catalyst. The catalysts were Al2O3-CaO, Al2O3-KI, and Al2O3-CaO-KI. The catalysts were prepared by heating a mixture of alumina and the corresponding salt in...
