Various heterogeneous catalysts are often used to produce biodiesel from non-edible crude oils. In this study a highly active heterogeneous calcium oxide (CaO) nanocatalyst with a diameter and surface area of 66 ± 3 nm and 90.61 m2/g, respectively, was synthesized from Polymedosa erosa (P. erosa) se...
