The new green catalysts derived from waste razor and surf clam shells for biodiesel production in a continuous reactor

A green catalyst has been derived from a waste material for transesterification of the Jatropha curcas oil feedstock for synthesis of biodiesel in a packed bed reactor (PBR). The razor and surf clam shells were crushed, ground, and calcined at 900°C for 2 h to derive calcium oxide (CaO) as the econo...
