Possibility of Producing Ethanol from Moringa Oleifera Pod Husk

Moringa oleifera is a plant which benefits to mankind from its root until leaves. From food to biofuel, all parts are useful to human being’s daily life. In this research, the pod husk was examined to determine the possibility of producing ethanol. The pod husk were dried and used with two sizes; on...
