The most efficient catalyst for the esterification reaction in the process of producing biofuels from vegetable oils is typically a strong acid catalyst. Sulfuric acid H2SO4 and hydrochloric acid HCl are commonly used for this purpose. However, solid acid catalysts, such as sulfonated ion-exchange resins e.g., Amberlyst-15 and heteropolyacids, have also shown great potential due to their reusability and reduced environmental impact. The choice of catalyst depends on the specific process conditions and desired product properties.
