Bifunctional Heterogeneous Catalyst for Biodiesel Production from Waste Vegetable Oil

Bifunctional solid catalysts facilitate the esterification of free fatty acids (FFA) into alkyl esters alongside the transesterification reaction, which allows for the use of waste vegetable oils with high water and FFA contents for biodiesel production. This makes the process economically viable an...
