Fatty acid methyl esters, derived from vegetable oils or animal fats and better known as biodiesel, have received considerable attention because of their environmental benefits and the limited resources of fossil fuels. Most biodiesel is usually produced by the transesterification of vegetable oils with methanol in the presence of a catalyst. This study reports on the preliminary results of using...
The transesterification of soybean oil to biodiesel using Ba–ZnO as a solid catalyst was investigated. The Ba–ZnO sample with loading of 2.5 mmol/g Ba on ZnO and being calcined at 873 K for 5 h, was found to be the optimum catalyst, which could exhibit the highest basicity and the best catalytic activity for the reaction. When the transesterification reaction was carried out at reflux of methanol...
