Abstract:Biodiesel fuel is a renewable energy source normally produced in industry by using an alkaline homogeneous catalyst to promote the transesterification of oil and methanol to fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). Undesirable side reactions occur when poorly refined oils are used, leading to serious problems of product separation and low FAME yield. Therefore, about 85% of the cost of biodiesel is determined by the cost of the feedstock. Here, we describe the development of high-area Pt films deposited on Ti substrate… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
