NANOCATALYSTS REVOLUTIONIZING BIODIESEL PRODUCTION: TRANSESTERIFICATION OF RICE BRAN OIL USING HETEROGENEOUS BASE CALCIUM OXIDE NANOPARTICLES
Abstract
This research unveils a transformative approach in biodiesel production by employing nanocatalysts, specifically heterogeneous base calcium oxide nanoparticles, for the transesterification of rice bran oil. The study investigates the catalytic efficiency, reaction kinetics, and biodiesel yield using these innovative nanocatalysts. Results indicate that the heterogeneous base catalyst exhibits remarkable catalytic activity, enhancing the transesterification process and yielding biodiesel with improved properties. The research contributes to advancing sustainable biodiesel production through the utilization of nanotechnology.
