Characterization of alkaline modified anthill and investigation of its catalytic behaviour in transesterification of Chrysophyllum albidium seed oil
This study focused on the synthesis of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) from Chrysophyllum albidium seed oil (CASO) via transesterification process using alkaline modified anthill as heterogeneous catalyst. The prepared catalyst was characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis,...
