Abstract(s)
Nowadays, around 90% of biodiesel is produced by the transesterification reaction of triglycerides
with low molecular weight alcohols using acid/basic catalysts. Homogeneous catalytic
transesterification is still major industrial biodiesel production process using alkali hydroxides and
methoxides. However, they have disadvantages such as reusability, renderability and separability.
Lately, researchers have been focusing on heterogeneously catalysed process.
