Heterogeneous solid mixed oxide (CaO–La2O3) catalysts with different molar ratios of calcium to lanthanum (Ca-to-La) were synthesized by co-precipitation method. The synthesized solid CaO–La2O3 mixed metal oxide catalysts were utilized in transesterification of Jatropha curcus oil as feedstock to pr...
