Biodiesel was produced from soybean oil using calcium oxide and cow bone as heterogeneous catalysts, through transesterification process. The soybean oil used was characterized using gas chromatography mass spectrometer (GCMS) and the cow bone catalyst produced was characterized X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer. The effects of the variation of methanol/oil mole ratio, catalyst concentration and reaction temperature on biodiesel yield during the transesterification of soybean oil were investigated. Reaction time of 3 h and stirring rate of 500 rpm were kept constant. Using Response Optimizer (Minitab 17), the optimum conditions for biodiesel production were established. It was observed that the calcination of cow bone catalyst enhanced its conversion to apatite-CaOH. Also, the results obtained showed that the performance trends of calcined cow bone catalyst and the conventional CaO catalyst were similar.
以氧化钙和牛骨为非均相催化剂，通过酯交换过程由大豆油制备生物柴油。所用大豆油采用气相色谱 - 质谱联用仪（GCMS）进行表征，所制备的牛骨催化剂采用X射线荧光（XRF）光谱仪进行表征。研究了甲醇/油摩尔比、催化剂浓度和反应温度变化对大豆油酯交换过程中生物柴油产率的影响。反应时间为3小时，搅拌速率为500转/分钟保持恒定。使用响应优化器（Minitab 17）确定了生物柴油生产的最佳条件。观察到牛骨催化剂的煅烧增强了其向磷灰石 - CaOH的转化。此外，所得结果表明煅烧牛骨催化剂和传统CaO催化剂的性能趋势相似。
