PURIFICATION OF BIODIESEL FROM USED COOKING OIL FOR SULFUR AND PHOSPHORUS REMOVAL

Biodiesel has attracted worldwide attention due to its potential of replacing fossil-based fuel as an economical and environmental decision. However, biodiesel tend to contain high amount of impurity and needs to undergo various purification process before being used in a vehicle engine. Therefore,...
