BIODIESEL PRODUCTION FROM RUBBER SEEDS {Hevea Brasiliensis) BY IN-SITU TRANSESTERIFICATION METHOD

Biodiesel is mono-alkyl esters ofvegetable oils (both edible and non-edible) oranimal fats. There are two basic methods in which biodiesel can be produced. Firstly, by means of transesterifying oil or fat with an alcohol assisted with an acid or alkali catalyst. Secondly, it can be produced throu...
