Cover Story: Currently, the worldwide availability of waste cooking oil (WCO) is about 20 million tons per year. Most developed countries are recycling WCO to biodiesel not only as a means of proper waste management but also to decrease their carbon footprint. Here, we propose a new catalyst prepared by supporting sodium methoxide on to the zeolite Y via a simple solvent-free ball-milling process. Despite WCO being used without pretreatment, very high conversion of WCO to biodiesel without any trace of saponification was observed in just 30 minutes. The high yield and very low catalyst-to-oil ratio make this catalyst advantageous over plane sodium methoxide, NaOH- and KOH-based homogeneous catalysts. View this paper
