Biodiesel Production through the Transesterification of Waste Cooking Oil over Typical Heterogeneous Base or Acid Catalysts

For the production of biodiesel from waste cooking oil with an acid value of 1.86 mg KOH/g, five heterogeneous catalysts—Ba(OH)<sub>2</sub>, CaO, MgO, ZnO, and AlCl<sub>3</sub>—were employed. To optimize the reaction parameters of each catalyst, the influence of crucial proce...
