Abstract
The proficient and cost-effective utilization of renewable waste materials for the solid catalyst development facilitates the commercial production of biodiesel through a green route. Here, arecanut husk ash, chemically modified with lithium compound is used as an efficient solid catalyst for the biodiesel production from used cooking oil. Lithium silicates are the major crystalline materials present in the lithium impregnated heterogeneous base catalyst. The activity of the arecanut husk ash derived catalyst in the transesterification of used cooking oil is excellent with a low catalyst loading under mild reaction conditions. Catalyst is best suited in the production of biodiesel from low cost feed stocks having high free fatty acid content and is found to be reusable.
