Alkali-Free Zn-Al Layered Double Hydroxide Catalysts for Triglyceride Transesterification

Zn-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) of general formula [Zn(1-x)2+Alx3+(OH)(2)](x+)(CO32-)(x/2)center dot yH(2)O are promising solid base catalysts for the transesterification of lipids to biofuels. However, conventional synthetic routes employ alkali hydroxide/carbonate precipitants which may con...
