OPTIMIZATION STUDIES ON POST BLENDING OF CRUDE PALM AND RUBBER SEED OIL FATTY ACID METHYL ESTERS

In avoiding the major issues of fossil fuel depletion and the environmental concerns, biodiesel is one of the most feasible sources of alternative energy. Rubber seeds, due to its non-edible characteristics have a potential to be converted to biodiesel. Its utilization will help to resolve food v...
