A review of sustainable biodiesel production using biomass derived heterogeneous catalysts

Abstract The production of biodiesel through chemical production processes of transesterification reaction depends on suitable catalysts to hasten the chemical reactions. Therefore, the initial selection of catalysts is critical although it is also dependent on the quantity of free fatty acids in a...
