Biodiesel or fatty acid ester is commonly produced by transesterification of vegetable oil or animal fat. Commercially, biodiesel was synthesized using homogeneous base catalysts such as NaOH and KOH. However, homogeneous base catalyst adsorped into the vegetable oil or animal fat. Thus, a large amo...
