For Hydrotalcite In The Production Of Fatty Acid Methyl
Esters (Fame).
PhD thesis, Perpustakaan Hamzah Sendut.
Abstract
The increasing demand for liquid petrol fuels, as well as their higher price,
biodiesel has been gaining worldwide popularity as an alternative energy source. The
classic ways of producing biodiesel have certain difficulties and disadvantages such as
that determined researchers for finding alternative technologies for its production. Thus,
upgraded technology of biodiesel production has been proposed. The
tubular porcelain catalyst as the catalyst support and hydrotalcite as the heterogeneous
catalyst were prepared. Analyses have been done including the methods of preparation
of the tubular ceramic support with the replication polymeric sponge method,
characterization of mechanical and microstructure properties of tubular ceramic support
and the application on the transesterification of commercial palm cooking oil to
biodiesel. T
