Hydrotalcite (HT) loaded with potassium carbonate (K2CO3) was originally applied as a promising heterogeneous solid base catalyst for the production of trimethylolpropane fatty acid triester (TFATE) as the biolubricant base oil through transesterification of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) from waste cooking oils and trimethylolpropane (TMP), in which FAME to TMP ratio (3:1), catalyst dosage (2% w/w), pressure (300 Pa), temperature (160 °C) and time (2 h) were optimized in order to obtain the best TFATE yield (80.6%). Based on the above, K2CO3dosage (30% w/w) and calcination temperature (500 °C) in the preparation of HT/K2CO3catalyst were optimized to improve the TFATE yield to 93.9% along with 97.7% of conversion rate of FAME (CRF). The catalyst recycling was also investigated to determine the suitable reactivated method. Besides, HT/K2CO3catalysts in various states were characterized for better comprehension of their functional mechanisms and appropriate potential applications.
