Article Description

Functionalised porous carbonaceous materials prepared from the controlled pyrolysis of corncobs were found to provide excellent activities in the simultaneous esterification/transesterification of highly acidic waste oils to biodiesel-like mixtures. Materials carbonised at 600 °C (mostly microporous) containing –SOH groups (ca. 1 wt% S, 0.16 mmol g–SOH) exhibited the optimum yields (>95%) to fatty acid methyl esters after 6 h of reaction. © 2011 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
