Biocatalytic conversion of vegetable oils by immobilized lipase to fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) is an efficient eco-friendly alternative to the conventional alkaline-catalyzed biodiesel production process. In this work, immobilization of Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase on Fe sub(3)O sub(4) was stud...
