Bio-petrol synthesized from rubber seed oil extracted from rubber seeds through catalytic cracking using montmorillonite

Currently,most of the bio-petrol is produced from the refined or edible type oils such asthe utilization of palm oil for the production of more environmental friendly bio-fuels.However,synthesizing Isooctane from rubber seed oil (RSO) extracted from rubberseeds is more favorable as RSO contains more...
