Congratulations to Yanna Syamsuddin on a
successful PhD viva
READ's latest PhD graduate Yanna Syamsuddin, successfully
defended her PhD on Thursday 20th April 2017.
Her thesis, entitled "Synthesis, Characterization and Catalytic
Activity of CaO-based Catalysts in Transesterification of Non-edible and Waste
Cooking Oils into Glycerol-free Fatty Acid Methyl Ester ", was supervised
by Prof. Dr. Bassim H. Hameed.
Yanna published the following three articles in
ISI-indexed journals.
- Syamsuddin, Y., Murat, M.N., Hameed, B.H. (2016). Synthesis of fatty acid methyl ester from the transesterification of high- and low-acid-content crude palm oil (Elaeis guineensis) and karanj oil (Pongamia pinnata) over a calcium–lanthanum–aluminum mixed-oxides catalyst. Bioresource Technology, 214, pp 248-252.
- Syamsuddin, Y., Hameed, B.H. (2016). Synthesis of glycerol free-fatty acid methyl esters from Jatropha oil over Ca-La mixed-oxide catalyst. Journal of the Taiwan Institute of ChemicalEngineers, 58, pp 1-8.
