In this research, the NiMo/La-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanopowders have been prepared for producing biodiesel efficiently. The screening test showed that the NiMo/La-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> catalyst has the best catalytic activity for triglyceride transesterification. Besides, the process parameters including reaction temperature, time, oil-to-alcohol ratio and catalyst loading etc., also have been investigated for optimization of the transesterification process. The results showed that with 5 wt% of catalyst loading, and oil to methanol molar ratio of 1:9, the conversion yield of triglyceride could be up to 95.2% within 120 min at 160°C. The NiMo/La-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> catalyst has the outstanding recycle property, which proved that the prepared NiMo/La-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> powders can be suitable for biodiesels’ production.</p> Biodiesel;transesterification;NiMo/La-Al2O3;triglyceride;high yield 2019-10-03
