Biodiesel production from solid coconut waste

Raw material from waste sources such as used bleaching earth, spent coffee ground, waste cooking oil, animal fat and sludge are increasingly being exploited in biodiesel production because of the cost and environmental considerations. Obtaining cheaper raw materials are one of the continuous targets...
