Abstract
In this paper we report an environmentally benign biodiesel production using biochar supported CaO as a heterogeneous catalyst. Both the active part as well as catalyst support reported in this work has been derived from waste materials (i.e. waste shells of Turbonilla striatula and deoiled cake of Mesua ferrea Linnseeds). The catalyst was prepared by impregnation method and optimal reaction conditions for achieving maximum yield were investigated. Under optimal conditions biodiesel yields <90 was obtained with biochar supported CaO which was similar to the yield reported for shell derived CaO catalyst.
