Abstract:To encourage the utilization of low-quality palm oil with high free fatty acid and moisture content (>0.1 wt%), a novel catalyst with two spatial shells and different active sites, double-shelled hollow mesoporous silica incorporated copper (II) (Cu/DS-HMS-NH 2 ), is fabricated via the two-stage hydrolysis and condensation technique. The influence of four parameters (eg, catalyst loading, temperature, reaction time, and the mass ratio of methanol to degummed palm oil (DPO)) on the yield of fatty acid methyl es… Show more
