Abstract: The catalytic activity of marble slurry derived calcined marble slurry and Hydroxyaptite (HAP) as heterogeneous catalyst has been studied for biodiesel synthesis. The developed catalysts characterized by the XRD and FTIR. Experimental results showed that biodiesel yield has been increased from 91% to 94% using calcined marble slurry and HAP as solid base catalyst respectively under reaction parameters such as reaction temperature 65 °C, reaction time 3hr, methanol to oil molar ratio 12:1 and catalyst concentration 4wt%. The solid base catalyst developed from marble slurry i.e. HAP shows superior catalytic activity for the trans esterification reaction of mixture of oils, which proposed that this waste could be possibly used as solid heterogeneous catalyst in biodiesel synthesis from mixture of edible and non edible oils.
