Catalytic Properties of Lithium-Doped ZnO Catalysts Used for Biodiesel Prepar…

Biodiesel produced by the transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fats with short-chain alcohols (typically methanol) is a promising alternative fuel for diesel engines, because of the limited resources of fossil fuels and environmental concerns. In this work, Li/ZnO catalysts were prepared using an impregnation method followed by calcinations, and then they were tested for soybean oil …
