We report here a novel synergistic catalysis system combined with porous organic polymeric solid acid (H-PDVB-SO3H) and K2O doped porous γ-Al2O3 solid base (γ-Al2O3-K2O). H-PDVB-SO3H and γ-Al2O3-K2O have abundant nanopores, controllable surface wettability, and high concentrations of acidic and basic sites. The synergistic catalysis system exploited by us could efficiently transform acidulated bone oil and plant oil into high quality biodiesel under mild conditions, which achieved ASTM specifications pertaining to acid number and total and free glycerin. Acidulated bone is a bone meal treated with sulfuric acid containing high-value hydrocarbons, which is generated in large amounts by the cattle industry. This work develops an efficient and cost-effective approach to transform animal waste into high quality biodiesel.
