An optimization study for transesterification of Palm Oil using Response Surface Methodology (RSM)

Biodiesel was produced via transesterification of palm oil with methanol in the presence of CaO-Nb2O5 mixed oxide catalyst. Response surface methodology (RSM) with central composite design (CCD) was performed to determine the optimum operating conditions and to optimize the biodiesel yield. In this...
