“…A stable catalyst retains its activity until the end of the reaction and after many times of recycling. [ 44 ] The recyclability of the MgO NPs catalyst was measured by the amount of methyl esters produced using the regenerated catalyst for repeated transesterification cycles. The methyl esters produced in every reaction were examined by gas chromatography.…”

Biodiesel has become an attractive substitute for fossil fuels due to its advantages such as lower bulk, higher energy density, non‐toxicity, and biocompatibility. Herein, a green and facile route is performed to synthesize magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NPs) using Ziziphus mauritiana leaves extract. After that, the resulting MgO NPs are applied as an active catalyst to produce biodiesel from the same plant's seed oil. The MgO NPs were characterized by various techniques including X‐ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), UV–Vis spectroscopy (UV–Vis), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX). Besides, the activity of the “green catalyst” was tested for the transesterification reaction for triglyceride conversion into biodiesel. The catalyst loading was optimized, and stability analysis was performed. Furthermore, the catalyst was recycled for six times for the transesterification of Ziziphus seed oil. The fuel properties of produced biodiesel were studied, and all are within the ASTM and the EN biodiesel standard specifications.

“…with an acid catalyst was achieved with the oil to methanol ratio of 1:10. In another work [23] transesterification of Jatropha oil was investigated using MgO/MCM-22 with different MgO loads as catalyst to evaluate the effect of MgO load, ratio of oil to methanol, reaction temperature, and reaction time. It was reported that the optimum conversion of 98 % was achieved using the catalyst with the MgO load of 20 %, with a ratio of oil to methanol of 1:15, reaction temperature of 70 C, reaction time of 100 min, with a 3 % amount of catalyst.…”

In this research, transesterification of rubber seed oil (RSO) with methanol in the presence of MgO/zeolite-A composites with different MgO loads as catalysts was investigated. In addition, the effect of different reaction parameters including oil to methanol ratio, the amount of catalyst, and transesterification time were also investigated. Zeolite-A was prepared from rice husk silica (RHS) and food-grade aluminum foil and confirmed using XRD and SEM/EDS techniques. The MgO/zeolite-A composites with different MgO loads were prepared by impregnating the zeolite with Mg (NO3)2 solution of different concentrations. The composites were then characterized using XRF, XRD, and SEM, and finally applied as a catalyst in transesterification of RSO at varied experimental conditions. The XRF results indicated that the zeolite has been successfully impregnated, and the content of MgO varied depending on the concentration of magnesium nitrate solution used for impregnation process. Zeolite-A and also MgO/zeolite-A composites were confirmed by XRD investigations, supported by SEM analysis with indicated the shape of cubic particle, a characteristic feature of zeolite-A, and rod like structure which is most likely the MgO particle. The results of transesterification experiments revealed the appreciable activities of the composites and the effect of reaction parameters on the conversion of the RSO, with the highest conversion of 89 % achieved using 12.5 % catalyst relative to the mass of RSO, with MgO 4.43 %/zeolite-A catalyst, oil to methanol ratio of 1:10, and a transesterification time of 6.0 h. Analysis of the transesterification products using GC-MS confirmed that fatty acids composing the RSO were converted into corresponding methyl esters.

“…One of the statistical methods that have been widely applied is known as Response Surface Methodology (RSM). This method has been applied to determine optimum conditions for transesterification of cooking oil [11,12], Jatropha oil [13,14], Jupati oil [4], rubber seed oil [15], palm oil [16,17] and soybean oil [9]. Recognizing the advantage offered by RSM, in present study this statistical method was applied to optimize transesterification of palm oil using zeolite-X as a catalyst.…”

In this study, response surface methodology was applied to optimize the transesterification of palm oil using zeolite-X prepared from rice husk silica and aluminum foil as a catalyst. For this purpose, response surface methodology (RSM) with a 3-level-3 factor central composite design was applied to investigate the effect of three experimental factors on the percentage of conversion of the oil into methyl esters. A quadratic model was derived from the RSM with the aid of analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Design Expert 6.0.8 software to predict oil conversion and reveals that the mathematical model is Y = 53.38 + 14.4X1 + 15.2053 X2 + 2.3 X3, suggesting that the most influencing factor for transesterification of palm oil is the ratio of oil to methanol.
