The research is focusing on the improvement of heterogeneous catalyst for biodiesel production application. An amphiphilic solid basic catalyst was prepared by using ZrO2 as a support and modified by impregnation of KF and KOH. In order to study the effect of basic site, various loading of KF and KO...
