Utilization of Palm Fatty Acid Distillate in Methyl Esters Preparation using SO42/TiO2-SiO2 as a Solid Acid Catalyst

The use of by-products, particularly in the biodiesel industry, has gained much attention owing to their potential in countering higher feedstock costs. A low-value by-product of palm oil refining, the palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD), was utilized as a feedstock for biodiesel preparation with the...
