Pretreatment of used cooking oil for the preparation of biodiesel using heterogeneous catalysis

Used cooking oil (UCO) offers a number of benefits for the production of biodiesel because it is a waste material and relatively cheap; however UCOs contain free fatty acids (FFAs) which need to be removed. Esterification can be used to convert the FFAs to biodiesel, and this work has compared two t...
