The present work demonstrated the preparation of sodium oxide impregnated on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and its application as a heterogeneous catalyst for transesterification of waste cooking oil. The catalyst was prepared by impregnation of metal oxide such as sodium oxide, Na2O on the CNTs by calcin...
