A summary of biodiesel production over as-prepared catalyst transformed from cost-effective clays

Abstract

This study summarized biodiesel production over as-synthesized catalysts fransformed from low-cost mineral clays. The porous catalytically materials were obtained by base activation in a simple ways. It was successful to reach high conversion efficiency (ca. 95 - 99 %) of trans- esterification of triglycerides/vegetable oils to fatty methyl acid esters (FAMEs) - main components of biodiesel.
