The current predominant method for the transesterification of triglycerides (plant and animal oils and fats) to biodiesel (a mixture of esters) uses chemical catalysts (sodium or potassium hydroxides or alkoxides). The next step would be to adapt the methodology to readily available cheap waste oils.

The LDH sorbent is made up of layers of the materials, separated by water molecules and hydroxide ions that create space, allowing lithium chloride to enter more readily than other ions such as sodium and potassium. In a bench-scale demonstration, the LDH sorbent recovered more than 91% of lithium from a simulated brine. Lili Wu, Samuel F.

Two chemists at Brown University have streamlined the conversion of waste vegetable oil (WVO) into biodiesel, eliminating the need for corrosive chemicals to perform the reactions. Current techniques for the conversion of waste vegetable oil to biodiesel take time, are costly and are inefficient. That makes the process less efficient.
