The utilization of renewable energy sources has gained significant attention in recent years. In this study, we investigate the transesterification reaction of rice bran oil to biodiesel, employing heterogeneous base calcium oxide nanoparticles as Nano catalysts. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of calcium oxide nanoparticles as catalysts for the conversion of rice bran oil into biodiesel and assess the reaction kinetics and product yield. The results demonstrate the potential of calcium oxide nanoparticles as efficient catalysts for biodiesel production, thereby paving the way for sustainable energy generation.
