Abstract

Highlights: [•] A series of CaO-loaded unimodal and bimodal porous silica catalysts were prepared. [•] Basicity increased with increasing the amount of CaO content. [•] The presence of macropores enhanced the accessibility of CaO inside the pellet. [•] Bimodal catalyst exhibited a high %FAME with excellent regeneration efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
