Calcium oxide
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Calcium oxide is a heterogeneous base catalyst. Calcium oxide can not only be extracted from waste materials such as oyster shells, eggshells, and crab shells, but also has the ability to tolerate low to moderate oil quality, free fatty acid, and moisture content in raw materials. Calcium oxide can be used for biodiesel production, effectively catalyzing the transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fats to produce alkyl esters.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Calcium oxide catalyzes the transesterification of pure soybean oil, achieving a biodiesel yield of 93 wt.% within 1 h, and catalyzes the transesterification of waste soybean oil (acid value 5.1 mg KOH/g), achieving a yield exceeding 99 wt.% within 2 h[1].
