Facile technique towards clean fuel production by upgrading waste cooking oil in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst

Herein, we utilized waste triglycerides “cooking oil” as an abundant source for biodiesel (methyl esters) production via transesterification over a novel synthesized heterogeneous catalyst (Zn-MgO-ZrO2). The catalyst was prepared by the co-precipitation technique and analyzed by using X-ray diffract...
