“…Indeed, heterogeneous acid catalysts such as oxides of metal, heteropoly acids, ionic liquids (ILs), sulfonic-acid-functionalized catalysts, zeolites, and others are considered as popular catalysts in producing biodiesel; − their classification is depicted in Figure . However, these described catalytic systems possess one or more of these three drawbacks: poor conversion, high cost, and catalyst toxicity. , A previous study has shown that heteropolyacids are very effective acidic catalysts for chemical processes; however, straight heteropolyacids are readily solvable in polar environments, rendering recovery problematic, in addition to having a limited surface. , So, to prevent such penalties, the heteropolyacids should be encapsulated inside porous frameworks. , …”
