Catalytic Performance of Bulk and Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-Supported Molybdenum Oxide for the Production of Biodiesel from Oil with High Free Fatty Acids Content

Catalytic Performance of Bulk and Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-Supported Molybdenum Oxide for the Production of Biodiesel from Oil with High Free Fatty Acids Content

Non-edible vegetable oils are characterized by high contents of free fatty acids (FFAs) that prevent from using the conventional basic catalysts for the production of biodiesel. In this work, solid acid catalysts are used for the simultaneous esterification and transesterification with methanol of t...
