Description
Summary:Using these oxide compounds as catalyst give advantages where CaO and MgO have low solubility in water. Besides that, catalyst CaO is a more active catalyst and has long been researched for transesterification reaction because it is inexpensive has high strong of base[9]and hardly soluble in methanol compared with oxide compounds or earth alkali hydroxide compounds such as SrO and Ba(OH)2 that are fully soluble in reaction[10]. Material And Methods The main tools and instruments used in this research are a set of crusher, Hot plate, and magnetic stirrer, furnace, glassware (like three-necked Erlenmeyer, beaker glass, separating funnel, stirring rod) condenser, thermometer, GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer). [...]limestone can be used in synthesis of CaO catalyst. [...]limestone can be used in the synthesis of CaO catalysts. The methyl ester compounds obtained following the palm oil content used in this synthesis such as: palmitate acid, myristic acid, stearate acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid[19,20]. [...]we can conclude that the CaO catalyst can be used as a catalyst in biodiesel production.
