Investigation of biodiesel production parameters by transesterification of watermelon waste oil using definitive screening design and produced biodiesel characterization

In the present work, biodiesel was produced from watermelon waste oil by the transesterification process. A definitive screening design was used to investigate the effect of transesterification parameters such as catalyst concentration (4−10%), methanol-to-oil ratio (2−10mol/mol)and reaction tempera...
