Transesterification of Canola oil to Biodiesel over Ca/MCM-41 Synthesized via Direct and Post-synthesis Methods;effect of the template

Activities of Ca/MCM-41 catalysts synthesized via template ion exchange and direct method were tested for the transesterification reaction of canola oil with methanol in feedratios of methanol:oil between 6:1. Template-containing Ca/MCM-41 solid base catalysts, showed higher activity in thetransesterification of canola oil with methanol at the end of reaction time.
