Limited reserves of traditional fossil fuels, up and down on the crude oil prices, and environmental degradation have focused the worldwide researcher's interest in the alternative fuels that can be used in existing diesel engine without any engine modification. In this work, zinc-doped (1.5-5 wt%) calcium oxide (Zn/Cao) heterogeneous catalysts have been prepared using wet impregnation method and calcined at 700 degrees C. The 5-ZnCaO-700 showed highest catalytic activity and gave <98% fatty acid methyl esters at 12:1 methanol/oil molar ratio, 65 degrees C reaction temperature, and 2.2 h reaction time. HNMR was employed for the quantification of biodiesel.
