The Influence of Gold Nanoparticles Addition on Sugarcane Leaves-Derived Silica Xerogel Catalyst for the Production of Biodiesel

The Influence of Gold Nanoparticles Addition on Sugarcane Leaves-Derived Silica Xerogel Catalyst for the Production of Biodiesel

Biodiesel was produced via transesterification of canola oil in the presence of a silica xerogel catalyst with deposited gold nanoparticles. The silica-gold catalyst was produced in situ, where gold metal was added to a sodium silicate solution; subsequently, gold nanoparticles were synthesised with...
