The kinetic model, which was originally developed for sunflower oil methanolysis catalyzed by CaO⋅ZnO, was examined for several other calcium-based catalysts like neat CaO, quicklime and Ca(OH)2. This model including triacylglycerols mass transfer- and chemically-controlled regimes demonstrated a good agreement with the experimental data in terms of a high coefficient of determination (0.971±0.022) and acceptable mean relative percentage deviation (±15.9%). Hence, this model is recommended for modeling the kinetics of sunflower oil methanolysis over calcium-based catalysts under widely ranging reaction conditions. © 2016, CI and CEQ.
