Production of biodiesel from salvia mirzayanii oil via electrolysis using KOH/Clinoptilolite as catalyst

ConclusionBased on the obtained results, in all three methods of catalyst synthesis KOH was loaded on Clinoptilolite support but at the end of the transesterification reaction only the catalyst synthesis via incipient wetness method could be reused three times under optimum reaction conditions. The produced biodiesel had high quality, whose physical and chemical properties had good agreement with ASTM, EN 14214, IS 15607 standards. Since thesalvia mirzayanii oil is an appropriate feedstock source for biodiesel production, it is suggested to usesalvia mirzayanii oil and KOH/Clinoptilolite catalyst to produce biodiesel on industrial scale.Graphical abstract
