Kinetics of African pear seed oil (APO) methanolysis catalyzed by phosphoric acid-activated kaolin clay

Abstract Kinetics and mechanism of heterogeneous transesterification reaction of African pear seed oil (APO) catalyzed by phosphoric acid-activated kaolin clay to produce biodiesel were investigated. Heterogeneous catalyst synthesized by activating clay with phosphoric acid was used to examine the e...
