Synthesis of Na-Pumice catalyst for heterogeneous transesterification of soybean oil optimization, kinetics, and reusability studies

Sodium-loaded pumice (Na-Pumice) catalyst was synthesized for the heterogeneous base transesterication of soybean oil into biodiesel. Na-Pumice catalyst was prepared through wet impregnation of the pumice support material with NaOH solutions followed by calcination at an elevated temperature of 120...
