Optimization of Esterification Palm Fatty Acid Distillate to Methyl Ester Using Microwave-Assisted Titanium Sulfonated Glucose Acid Catalyst

An alternative feedstock, palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) provides huge potential in solving the problem of high cost biodiesel production. The PFAD was esterified in batch mode using microwave-assisted titanium sulfonated incomplete carbonized glucose (Ti-SO3H/ICG) catalyst. Microwave-assisted me...
