Abstract
Ali Al-Saadi developed a new type of catalysts called bifunctional catalysts. Biodiesel can be produced from any type of oil through a chemical reaction with the presence of these types of catalysts. He found that the bifunctional catalysts are efficient with acidic oils, vegetable oils, and also with waste cooking oils.
