Optimization of the biodiesel synthesis of used cooking oil using calcined eggshell as a renewable catalyst: A study using Minitab software

In this study, methyl ester was produced through the transesterification of UCO using calcined eggshell as a heterogeneous base catalyst. The objectives of this study were to: (a) investigate the production of a renewable catalyst through eggshell calcination; (b) assess the effect of MeOH/UCO molar ratio, catalyst/ UCO catalyst content, and reaction temperature on the ester content in biodiesel; and (c) use response surface methodology (RSM) to design, analyze, and optimize experimental conditions.
