Biodiesel was prepared from soy oil and a mixture of NiO and CaO oxide. Employing calcium (Ca) as a support and Ni as a driver ingredient, the oxide is created by mechanically mixing it. It was investigated how the Ni/CaO catalyst affected the process of turning soy oil into FAME. A variety of catalyst characterization techniques, including BET, FTIR, and more were used to describe the catalyst material. Using a variable weight percentage of Ni, the Ni/CaO catalyst exhibits a 20 wt% transformation rate with soy oil, with NiO being found to be the most effective. CH3OH/oil M ratio 15:01, the temperature of the reaction 64°C, and the amount of catalyst 5wt% were the optimal reaction parameters for FAME conversion. This mixed catalyst is more useful and can produce biodiesel.
