Biodiesel production in a fixed bed reactor from Vernonia cinerea oil using calcined Pyrgostylus striatulus catalyst supported on activated carbon

TL;DR: In this article , a fixed-bed reactor loaded with green catalyst was used for the conversion of Vernonia cinerea oil and methanol into biodiesel, and a maximum conversion of 96% was observed at the process conditions of 65ºC, 25:1 methanoline-to-oil-molar ratio, 350-mm catalyst bed height and residence time of 6 hours.
