Kinetics and soft computing evaluation of Linseed oil transesterification via CD-BaCl-IL catalyst.

A novel clay-doped ionic liquid and BaCl (CD-BaCl-IL) heterogeneous catalyst for biodiesel synthesis from linseed oil (LSO) was generated after 4 h of calcination at 600°C using Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) was used to evaluate the catalyst's processability. After optimization using response surface methodology (RSM), the second-order polynomial model was shown in the Analysis of variance (ANOVA) with R values of 0.9947, Adj R (0.
