Calcium oxide
Heterogeneous Base Catalyst
Calcium oxide (CaO) functions as a heterogeneous base catalyst with significant efficacy in various chemical reactions. This reagent is particularly valuable in biodiesel production, facilitating the transesterification of vegetable oils and animal fats into alkyl esters. Additionally, calcium oxide showcases compatibility with low to moderate oil quality, free fatty acid levels, and moisture content in raw materials, making it a versatile choice for researchers in catalysis and renewable energy applications.
