“…The cost will be considerably reduced if biomass ash can be used as the catalyst. Biomass ash was found to be able to promote the biodiesel production rate due to its alkalinity [39][40][41][42]. Ash was also reported to have good catalytic activity for other reactions such as ethanol dehydrogenation [43] and partial oxidation of methanol [44].…”

“…The fine powder of shell and reagent grade CaCO 3 was calcined at 800°C for 3 h to generate CaO. Coal fly ash was dried in an oven at 105°C for 10 h. The fly ash-supported CaO catalyst was prepared according to the wet impregnation method [18] which was also described in the previous paper [19].…”

The aim of this study was to develop fly ash-supported CaO catalyst derived from waste mollusk shell of Anadara granosa and Paphia undulata for transesterification of palm oil to yield biodiesel. The active precursor Ca(OH) 2 of the catalyst has been developed from calcination of waste mollusk shell, while the mesoporous has been prepared using the wet impregnation method. The results demonstrated that the mollusk shell-derived catalyst could gain the yield of biodiesel of 92 and 94 % for A. granosa shell and P. undulata shell, respectively. The obtained yield was comparable with the yield of biodiesel gained from CaO catalyst derived from reagent grade CaCO 3 (yield = 94 %). The optimum condition was achieved at catalyst loading of 6 %, reaction temperature of 60°C and reaction time of 2 h. The reusability study showed that the developed catalysts exhibited higher recycle degree characteristic indicated by 50 % yield reduction after three reuse cycles.

“…Ho et al, [32][33] reported that calcium oxide (CaO) could be potentially used as a support for palm oil mill fly ash to be implemented for transesterification reaction from crude palm oil (CPO). Optimum conditions were found to be at 850 ˚C for 2 h with 45 wt.% loading of calcined calcium carbonate (CaCO3) for catalyst preparation.…”

The efficient and economic utilization of natural renewable and waste materials of various industries and biomass having non-homogeneous composition is a new dimension of research for biodiesel production. A combination of these renewable, waste materials and traditional heterogeneous catalyst can also be looked after for the possible solution of heterogeneous catalytic transesterification. This review discusses industrially derived and naturally occurring materials containing calcium, sodium, potassium etc, which were found instrumental for biodiesel production. About 60 research articles and patents have been reviewed and the findings are analysed in this article for developing industrial scale heterogeneous catalytic pilot plant facilities for biodiesel production.
