Bio Diesel Production From Canola Oil Using Trans-Esterification Process with Kohasacatalyst

Abstract
Biodieselisonesolutiontoovercometheuseofpetroleumfuels.Manyalternativefeedstocksthatcanbe used, among which canola oil. The purpose of this study wasto determine the ability of canola oil and KOH for the trans-esterification reaction in biodiesel production.
