Sustainable Biodiesel Production over a Novel Magnetic Solid Acid Catalyst Derived from Copper Ferrite: Statistical Optimization and Catalytic Performance Evaluation
In this study, a novel magnetic solid acid catalyst based on molybdenum oxide-impregnated copper ferrite was synthesized and applied to methyl transesterification from waste cooking oil (WCO). The catalytic solid was characterized by surface acidity, XRD, FTIR, SEM, EDS, and VSM techniques. A 24 face-centered central c...
