title = "Biodiesel production from waste vegetable oils over MgO/ZrO2 catalyst",
abstract = "MgO was loaded on ZrO2 using the incipient wetness impregnation method. The catalyst was characterized using FTIR, XRD, XRF and BET. The effects of reaction temperature, reaction time and MgO loading on waste vegetable oil conversion to biodiesel were investigated. Biodiesel yield was observed to increase with the reaction temperature and the reaction time. The effect of MgO loading in the catalyst on oil conversion was found to be influenced by the reaction temperature.",
