Abstract: The Polyoxo vanadate catalytic trans-esterification of waste cooking oil (WCO) was carried out by optimizing four reaction parameters which include: catalyst loading, methanol/oil ratio, temperature, and reaction time. These optimized parameters are 0.5 g, 0.8 g, and 1.2 g catalyst loading, 3:1, 6:1 and 9:1 methanol/oil ratio, 45°C, 60°C and 65°C reaction temperature, 45 min, 60 min and 90 min reaction time. The regression equation in the uncoded units of …
