Activated carbon as a catalyst support for transesterification of waste cooking oil

Activated carbon has been widely used as adsorbent and catalyst support. Recently Hameed et al., (2009) published very interested article on the application of activated carbon as support for the transesterification of waste cooking palm oil. You can read the abstract of the article in this link.
