Production of biodiesel from rubber seed oil by transesterification method using alumina-supported potassium iodide catalyst / Nor Hayati Ad Rahman

Nowadays, biodiesel has been identified as a good complement and possible substitution of fossil diesel because of the encouraging similar characteristic to fossil diesel in addition to its good lubricity, biodegradability, non-toxicity and environmentally when used in diesel engines. The main ob...

The experimental result shows the heterogenous catalyst that calcined at 773K showed better catalytic activity in the transesterification of rubber seed oil which provided the maximum yield of 31.8% at molar ratio of methanol to oil 15:1, amount of catalyst is 2 g at temperature 60°C in reaction time of 8 hours.
