The present study is an assessment of using Turel Kongreng (river mussels) as a source of
heterogenous catalyst in biodiesel production. After the calcination is performed at 800° C
for 1 h, the calcinated samples were subjected to characterization techniques such as X-ray
dispersive analysis, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy
and Energy dispersive x-ray analysis. The characterizations showed excellent formation of
calcium oxide (CaO) and the same is compared with CaO synthesized from other sources. A …
