Biodiesel production from esterification of oleic acid over aminophosphonic acid resin D418

► Biodiesel production from esterification of oleic acid was conducted over aminophosphonic acid resin D418. ► D418 had excellent catalytic property for this esterification reaction. ► The biodiesel production process optimization was conducted by response surface methodology. ► The pseudohomogeneous model was used to simulate the kinetic experimental data.
