Optimizing Al/Zn ratios in K2O/Zn-Aluminate catalysts for enhanced biodiesel production efficiency

Abstract In this study, a series of K2O/Zn-aluminate catalysts with varying Al/Zn ratios (0.5-4) were examined as heterogeneous base catalysts for the esterification of sunflower oil with methanol. The synthesized nanocatalysts were characterized using XRD, FESEM, EDX, and BET techniques. Furthermor...
