TL;DR: In this article, a 12-Tungstophosphoric acid anchored to SBA-15 was synthesized and characterized by various physico-chemical techniques such as TGA, FT-IR, DRS, XRD, N 2 adsorption-desorption, solid state NMR (31 P and 29 Si), SEM and TEM.

TL;DR: In this paper, the catalytic esterification and transesterification reactions to the clean synthesis of biodiesel, over most readily investigated supported polyoxometalates to meet future societal demands are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of synthesized catalyst was explored for biodiesel production by esterification of (free fatty acid) oleic acid with methanol, and the influence of various reaction parameters (catalyst concentration, acid/alcohol molar ratio, catalyst amount, reaction temperature and reaction time) on catalytic performance was studied to optimize the conditions for maximum yield of methyl oleate.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 12-tungstophosphoric anchored to MCM-41 and zirconia was used for the esterification of glycerol, a value added byproduct from biodiesel production.

TL;DR: In this article, a synthesized catalyst comprising 12-tungstophosphoric acid anchored to two different mesoporous silica supports, MCM-41 and SBA-15, was characterized and used as heterogeneous acid catalyst for biodiesel production by esterification of oleic acid with methanol.
