Abstract

Transesterification of vegetable oil with subcritical methanol over newly-developed heterogeneous Mn catalysts for the production of biodiesel fuel is reported. The dense CH3OH can improve the catalytic performance as a result of the effective removal of the reaction products with methylation of the intermediate carboxylates on the catalyst surface.
