Energies 2021, 14, 3950. https://doi.org/10.3390/en14133950 https://www.mdpi.com/journal/energies Energies 2021, 14, 3950 2 of 23 sources that can stand in for fossil fuels are wind, solar, water, and biofuel. Solar, wind, and hydro energy are the chief sources of electricity and heat generation used globally. In the United States, 20% of total electricity was produced from renewable sources in 2020; wind (8.4%), hydropower (7.3%), solar (2.3%), biomass (1.4%), and geothermal (0.5%) [6]. Biomass is a renewable organic material and bioenergy utilizes biomass, in order to produce heat, electricity, and biofuel, such as biogas and liquid fuels. The predominant types of renewable energy from biomass (i.e., biofuel) are biochar (solid), biodiesel and bioethanol (liquid), and bio-hydrogen, biogas, and biosynthetic gas (gaseous) [7,8]. Although energy sources other than biomass are preferred for electricity and heat generation, biofuels as liquid fuels serve as energy-dense fuels that can be blended with petroleum-based fuels, i.e., gasoline and diesel [9]. Petroleum diesel (petrodiesel) fuel exhausts emissions, such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxide (NOx), and aerosols that can cause various health issues, such as respiratory diseases, allergy, cancer, and vascular diseases [10]. Unlike petrodiesel, biodiesel does not contain any metals, residues, or sulphur aromatics, and releases minimal amounts of glasshouse gases [11,12]. In this way, biodiesel can be used in combination with petrodiesel, as they have similar characteristics [13]. Biodiesel can also be used as an alternative to fossil fuel in diesel engine with no modification [14]. However, biodiesel might not be viewed as a petrodiesel substitute; rather, it can be considered as an essential component of a secure and diverse energy supply. Transesterification is the general process for biodiesel production, in which alcohol (chiefely methanol) and oil react, and the reaction is usually catalyzed by the utilization of a homogeneous or heterogeneous catalyst [15,16]. There is some technological difficulty (corrosion and emulsification) when acid or base homogeneous catalysts are applied in the reaction [17]. On the contrary, compared to homogeneous catalysts, such as potassium hydroxide (KOH), that dissolve in the reactant [18], heterogeneous catalysts are advan- tageous for their easy separation, possibility of high-quality glycerol with high levels of purity (≥98%) from the product, and possible reusability of the catalyst for several cycles. Therefore, transesterification via heterogeneous catalysis as a green process can value add to the process. Calcium oxide (CaO)-based catalysts are heterogeneous, low-cost, available material in abundance in nature that can be produced from waste feedstocks, such as seashells and eggshells [19]. Cao-based catalysts have relatively high activity, and their leaching problem can be overcome by supporting it on different carriers or mixing with other oxides [20]. This review focuses on biodiesel generation via transesterification reactions from a catalytic standpoint. In this regard, this review firstly discussed the heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts, as well as their advantages and disadvantages; and secondly, evaluated CaO- (in the different forms of pure, supported and mixed with other oxides) catalyzed transesterification. Additionally, CaO catalysts derived from natural resources were reviewed and the effect of various parameters on the transesterification, including catalyst reusability, catalyst-loading amount, water content, total primary sites, calcination time and temperature, and reaction time were studied in brief. Moreover, the reactors in use for heterogeneous catalysts were discussed. Finally, the future perspective of the CaO-derived catalysts was reviewed to assess their capacity in biodiesel production. 2. Biodiesel Biodiesel is a sustainable liquid fuel for transportation [21] and it has improved characteristics compared to petrodiesel, such as lower density and viscosity. The density of the fuel affects the engine’s fuel injection system and the lower dense and viscous fuel leads to better atomization and mixing properties [22]. The properties of the developed biodiesel for further use as a pure compound or a blend should be tested, and the properties must be commensurate with international standards for testing biodiesel, such as EN 14,214 and ASTM D6751, according to the European Committee for Standardization and Energies 2021, 14, 3950 3 of 23 American Standards for Testing and Materials.

The catalytic activities of Cu/ZrO2_CaO catalysts were investigated on CO2 hydrogenation. The CO2 hydrogenations were carried out over combination of calcium oxide and Cu/ZrO2 catalyst. Two calcination temperatures were chosen at 300 and 650 oC according to thermal decomposition results. The catalysts were characterized by means of N2 adsorption-desorption, H2 temperature programmed reduction and X-ray diffraction. The CO2 hydrogenation under atmospheric pressure and at 250 oC was carried out over copper-based catalysts combined with calcium oxide namely i.e. Cu/ZrO 2 _CaO300, Cu/ZrO 2 _CaO650, Cu/ZrO2_Cu/CaO and Cu/ZrO2+CaO. The catalytic activities over all catalysts were consistent for 4 hours. The catalytic reaction rates over copper-based catalysts were in the range of 21.8 – 47.4 mol L-1 s-1 g cat-1. The modification of calcium oxide can improve the catalytic activity of copper-based catalysts to 47.4 mol L-1 s-1 g cat-1. The calcination temperature can cause a difference in active species that impact on product selectivity.

Infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRAS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been employed to reveal the correlation between the vibrational frequencies of the hydroxyl groups and the distinct hydroxylated surface phases that develop as a function of water exposure. In the low-coverage regime, water monomers, small water clusters, and one-dimensional water chains are formed on the CaO(001) surface. At increasing water coverages, water-induced structural disorder is observed, indicating 2+ partial solvation of Ca ions. Partial transformation of CaO(001) into a Ca(OH)2-like phase occurs upon dosing of water at submillibar water pressure. In addition, it was found that interfacial hydroxyl groups formed on the CaO(001) surface during water exposure at temperatures as low as 100 K shift the temperatures for ice desorption and for the transition from amorphous solid water to crystalline ice by 10 K as compared to those for the nonhydroxylated MgO surface.

In this study, a new technology of preparing zinc ferrite from zinc sulfide deposit gossan was proposed. The effects of Al2O3, CaO, and SiO2 in gossan on the formation of zinc ferrite were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and specific surface area and pore size analysis (BET). The results show that the presence of Al2O3 and CaO could hinder the formation of zinc ferrite, while silica had no effect on the formation of zinc ferrite. Under the conditions of the molar ratio of ZnO and Fe2O3 to Al2O3, CaO, and SiO2 of 1:1:1, an activation time of 60 min, and a roasting temperature of 750 ◦C for 120 min, the products, which had good crystallinity, smooth particle surface, and uniform particle size could be obtained.
