Biodiesel is a fatty acid methyl ester The produced from transesterification glycerides
from plant oils with methanol, using an acid catalyst and a base. alreadyResearch
conducted TO Making biodiesel from crude palm oil (CPO) withPotassium
Hydroxide methanol catalyst using 1% (w / w CPO), ON temperature of 60 C for 1
hour with stirring 300 rpm. TIN methyl ester yield of 76.79% with the nature physico
chemical form of the density of 0.89 g / ml, viscosity of 4.09 mm / s, acid number
0.14 mg KOH / g and the fatty acid content of 9.34%. Singer meet biodiesel standards
