Determination of the Acidity of Waste Cooking Oils by Near Infrared Spectroscopy
(MDPI, 2019)
Waste cooking oils (WCO) recycling companies usually have economic losses for buying WCO not suitable for biodiesel production, e.g., WCO with high free acidity (FA). For this reason, the determination of FA of WCO by ...
