Optimization of microwave-assisted biodiesel production from watermelon seeds oil using thermally modified kwale anthill mud as base catalyst
A heterogeneous catalyst was developed from raw Kwale red Anthill mud by thermal treatment in a muffle furnace at 900 °C for 4 h. The resulting heterogeneous catalyst was highly porous with a surface area of 42.16m2/g, possessing excellent stability as well as high catalytic activity. Central Compos...
