Heterogeneous Catalyst derived from Natural Resources for Biodiesel Production: A Review
نویسنده
چکیده
Heterogeneous catalysts are receiving more importance for the transesterification of triglycerides present in any oils or fats to produce biodiesel. They are reusable, environmentally benign, could give high quality of products, and more effective than acid catalysts and enzymes for biodiesel production. Recently, heterogeneous catalysts derived from both waste industrial and biological resources have attracted interest for biodiesel synthesis. In this paper, it is attempted to review on recent development and application of low-cost, highly efficient heterogeneous catalysts which are mainly derived from natural resources or waste materials for biodiesel production via transesterification of different oils.

Biodiesel: A Cost-effective Fuel Using Waste Materials
The main disadvantage of biodiesel is its high price. The price of biodiesel depends on various factors such as the price of oil, methanol, catalyst, and labor. Among dif-ferent economic factors, oil accounts for the largest share of input costs of biodiesel production. In this study, first, suitable heterogeneous catalysts were identified for biodiesel production. Several studies were carried ...
