Microwave and ultrasound-assisted transesterification of microalgae using homogenous and heterogeneous alkali catalyst

Novel catalysts were prepared and investigated in this study in the transesterification of microalgae for biodiesel production. The impregnation method was used to synthesize the catalysts Li-pumice, K-pumice, and Na-pumice. The synthesis parameters were varied at three different alkali solutions an...
