Preparation of La₂O₃-CaO mixed oxide catalysts supported on nanostructured activated carbon for biodiesel production from waste cooking oil

Advanced carbon nanorod promoted binary La2O3-CaO system with improved physical properties, tailored surface morphology and chemistry were developed in vacuum-impregnating methods. The nanostructured catalyst (CaO–La2O3/AC nanocatalyst) was prepared to convert waste cooking oil with high FFA into bi...
