Transesterification of soybean oil with methanol was carried out at 60, 120, and 150° C in
the presence of a series NaX faujasite zeolite, ETS-10 zeolite, and metal catalysts. The stock …

Although catalysis by solid acids has received much attention due to its importance in
petroleum refining and petrochemical processes, relatively few studies have focused on …

In the present work, the transesterification reaction of rapeseed oil with methanol, in the
presence of alkaline catalysts, either homogeneous (NaOH) or heterogeneous (Mg MCM …

Development of new and effective solid catalysts (solid acid base to immobilized enzyme) is
