Preparation, kinetic and thermodynamic studies of Al-Sr nanocatalysts for biodiesel production

Al-Sr nanocatalysts were prepared. The best operational conditions were the CH3OH/oil = 12/1 at 65 °C for 300 min. From the kinetic and thermodynamic studies, Ea = 72.86 kJ mol−1, A = 3.38 × 107 s−1, ΔH = 215.02 kJ mol−1 and ΔS = 662.70 J mol−1K−1 were obtained.147
