The solid base catalysts MgO, CaO and MgO-Al O were 2 3 prepared respectively from the dissociation of basic magnesium hydroxide, calcium carbonate and hydrotalcite at elevated temperature. The experiments show that the CaO and MgO-Al O have high catalytic activity for 2 3 transesterification reaction, and the yield of methy1 esters reaches over 90% under the condition of 230°C, methanol/oil mole ratio of 12, and catalyst dosage(catalyst/oil) of 2% after reaction 3h. The CO -TPD profiles 2 show that the catalysts CaO and MgO-Al2O3 have high base strength and more amount of base site, which implicates those catalysts will have a higher catalytic activity.
