Alkali-free zn–al layered double hydroxide catalysts for triglyceride transesterification

Zn–Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) of general formula Al3+ x(OH)2]x+(CO3Zn–Al2−)x/2·yH2O are promising solid base catalysts for the transesterification of lipids to biofuels. However, conventional synthetic routes employ alkali ydroxide/carbonate precipitants which may contaminate the final LDH...
