In this work, waste seashell (Meretrix meretrix) was used as a renewable calcium source to prepare a series of heterogeneous base catalysts for production of biodiesel, a mixture of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), via transesterification of palm oil with methanol in a continuous-flow fixed-bed reac...
