For instance, by using a CTOR of 3wt.% , the FAME yield in creased from 12.4% to 46.4% by varying the loading amount of KOH from 15 to 35 at. %.
Moreover, by using a CTOR of 6wt.% and 9 at. % the FAME yield increased from 22.5% to 73.7%, and from 41.0% to 76.8% respectively, by varying the KOH loading from 15 to 35 wt. % .
