KF-loaded mesoporous Mg–Fe bi-metal oxides: high performance transesterification catalysts for biodiesel production

Abstract

Using newly developed mesoporous Mg-Fe bi-metal oxides as supports, a novel kind of high performance transesterification catalysts for biodiesel production has been synthesized. More importantly, the impregnation solvent was for the first time found to substantially affect the structures and catalytic performances of the resultant transesterification catalysts.
