Production of biodiesel from waste cooking oil using mesoporous MgO-SnO2 nanocomposite

Abstract Mesoporous, bifunctional MgO-SnO2 nanocatalysts with enhanced surface area are used for producing biodiesel from waste cooking oil. Biodiesel with yield of 80% is achieved within the first 20 min when transesterification is carried out at an optimum condition of 18:1 methanol to oil ratio,...
