ZrO₂/bamboo leaves ash (BLA) Catalyst in Biodiesel Conversion of Rice Bran Oil

Mesoporous Silica-Based Catalysts for Biodiesel Production: A Review

“…Silica precursors and other chemicals need to be replaced with feasible materials, and for this issue, some explorations into biogenic silica resources need to be looked at. Sustainable sources of silica such as rice husk, wheat straw, salacca peel waste, and bamboo leaves have been reported to have potential for functionalized silica [110][111][112][113][114]. As the design of catalyst preparation could be inclusively combined with the agricultural industrial cycle, the concept of circular economy to provide biodiesel as a renewable energy resource can be more intensified.…”

Environmentally benign solid catalysts for sustainable biodiesel production: A critical review

“…The bamboo plant is a perennial evergreen plant that is well cultivated in south-eastern Asia (especially in China and Indonesia) (Yang et al, 2008;Fatimah et al, 2018). There are about 1,000 bamboo kinds and about 200 of them are found in southeastern Asian province (Fatimah et al, 2018).…”

In this work, the zirconia supported bamboo leaves ash catalyst was used for producing biodiesel from rice bran oil.…”
