Tin oxide doped on activated dolomites as efficient catalyst for biodiesel production

Activated dolomite (AD), was investigated as a promising heterogeneous catalyst for the production of biodiesel. SnO2 doped on activated dolomites catalyst (DSN) was synthesized through wet impregnation method and calcined at 500 C for 3 h in air. The catalyst was then applied on biodiesel productio...
