Solid-base catalyst as (CaO) and acid catalyst as (S-ZrO₂) were prepared. The ability of CaO as a potential heterogeneous catalyst was investigated in broad range while acid catalyst (S-ZrO₂) was also tested for single step simultaneous esterification and transesterification UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
