Development of Sulfonated Carbon Catalysts from Waste Sugarcane Leaves and Tops for Effective Biodiesel Production from Free Fatty Acids or Waste Cooking Oil
Sulfonated carbon catalysts were prepared by valorization of waste sugarcane leaves and tops (SC), an abundant agricultural residue that is routinely burnt in the field, contributing significantly to PM2.5 pollution in Southeast Asia. Catalyst production was achieved via addition of a chemical activator (ZnCl2, KOH o...
