Abstract Kapok seed oil is an environmentally friendly biodiesel feedstock. The problem of the best catalyst for transesterification of Kapok seed oil still continues today. The research developed a base-heterogeneous catalyst with the
effect of ultrasonic waves during transesterification. So, the study aims: (1) to determine the type of natural zeolite
used, (2) to determine the characteristics of the synthesized CaO:BaO/ANZ catalyst, and (3) to determine the
effectiveness of the CaO:BaO/ANZ catalyst in the biodiesel production process through sono-transesterification
of kapok seed oil. The research stages consisted of: (1) activation of natural zeolite and its characterization,… More >
